I made my first bowl using an axe. It took about and hour to rough it out and wasn't very thin but was what i thought quiet good. I then used a curved chissel( normally used for eye soccets etc) to carve the inside deeper .
This part was what took the time i used specald oak, i think and seeled it using lin seed oil. Before sanding it 3 times with 80-180 grit paper i tryed to get rid of some of the indents left from a inadequat tool for the job. I think it turned out well but there is obvious room for inproovement.
I am currently workin on getting a spoon knife, this will hopefully enhance any future bowls by giving a smoother base and getting rid of marks left by my chissel.
