Chuck kit

Tormek T8 Sharpening System

Tormek Woodturner’s Kit

Bandsaw

Buffing kit

Table saw

Jointer planer

Cordless drill

Foredom Woodcarving Kit


In this video I wanted to make a bowl by glueing three different species of wood to create a gradient effect. I used mahogany, oak and basswood.


I begun by planing my material flat. I then cut it to squares and then circles.


I glued the pieces together. To prevent them from slipping around I used a couple of dowels. 


Using a face plate I turned the outer side of the bowl. 


I then chucked from the other side and hollowed it.


Next I designed the yarn spiral. I removed as much material as I could with a saw and a drill. Then I just used my rotary tool to carve the rest. After that it was just a matter of spending some good amount of time on sanding. 


I added a coat of sanding sealer, then lightly sanded and finally I buffed the piece with carnauba wax. 


And that was it, I am really happy with the way it came out. But that was it. See you soon with a new project video.
