Tools and materials I propose:
In this video I turn a scoop out of basswood. The technique I used Is similar to what pipe makers do to turn their blanks in two axis.
I begun by marking all my centre points and my basic design on my blank.
I then shaped the handle and a little bit of the scoop bowl.
I then mounted the piece on the other axis and made a tenon for my chuck.
Next I chucked the piece and hollowed the scoop.
I used a cone on my chuck, reversed the piece again and cleaned the bottom.
I shaped the rest of the scoop on my belt sander. Then I moved on to a carving knife. Finally I sanded it and finished it with mineral oil.
It was a s mall project but really challenging. Anyway, that was it, see you soon with a new project video.
