I am writing about I believe to make wooden bowls. It is really no that hard but they turn out really pretty. First you have to mount a chunk of wood of the faceplate. Then you mount the faceplate tjo the wood lathe. After that you start the lathe and uae a bowl gouge. you srti it up and prees the bowl gouge into the wood. it really goes smoother if you don't jpress that hard. you do the joutside first and get the basis shap that you want the you take it off the faceplate anf mount the wood in the bowl chuck. then you have to goufe out the inside of the bowl. Y ou have to leave it bout on inch thtick. Then you let it dry for 4 to 6 months. After that you remount it it the bowl chuc and get it to the final shapw. aftert that you use a scaper and geet all the tool marks out of the bowl if you can. Then to have to sand the bowl. when you are done sanding you have to seanson the bowls with beeswax and mineraloil . I usually give the bowls awa to people that I know. They all seem to like the bowls I create. I did sell some some bowls this Christmas and made about 300 daollars. It does get me very comferable. It is hard to write for ten minutes but I am trying. It seems athat my thought are atraying form he subject. It is cold outside today. My dogs don't seem to mind the cold but I sure do. our houae ia old so it id kin of hard to heat. my electric bill is always high ing the winter. I did buy a infrared funrnace thought it seems to help. QWe alsio use two other litte heaters. This deer season wst nor the best .
