Day 5

Day 4

This is what I started with today.

Now the outside is roughed out, now its time to rough out the inside. Sometimes I use the bowl gouge and sometimes I use this, which is a scraper. In the same manner that you can take a knife and scrape the burnt off of your toast, you can take this tool and scrape the wood down. A bowl gouge works as a knife; it slices the wood off. The cut is cleaner, but its more difficult to use, because the knife slices along the grain of the wood. A scraper is easier to control, but it is not sliceing the wood, it is tearing it off. That means a lot more sanding.

Dust collectors are fun!!!

See the inside is smooth now.
