About the event
This two-day beginner class is a comprehensive introduction to bowl turning and no experience is necessary. We will focus on developing the basic skills needed to turn a simple wooden bowl from "green" unseasoned log wood.
Working at a power lathe, students will learn how to properly execute bevel rubbing cuts and scraping techniques using a traditional bowl gouge. We will also be using a detail gouge, parting tool and scraper, along with various lathe accessories, hand tools and measuring tools. Although this is a beginner class, it is also a great refresher course for the intermediate bowl turner.
