Wood Bowl Carving

One aspect of wood bowl turning that I've been tinkering with for some time now is the 'after lathe' decoration possibilities. Carving has become a favorite of mine.

There's a local wood turning group that I participate in called Bell Woodturners. In August of 2006, I was asked to be their monthly presenter. I chose to share my bowl carving process.

These are some pictures that were taken there of the demonstration that I did (can also be viewed on the club site HERE):
