Is carving a GIANT Bowl BY HAND possible in 12 hrs!?...This video is brought to you by Squarespace. For a 10% discount at launch go to www.squarespac...
Last week when visiting Colonial Williamsburg, I saw a traditional dough bowl, and I had to have one for myself. So I called my friend Jeb to come over to help make one of these pieces of history. There were two requirements for this project: 1) It HAD to be done BY HAND (NO POWER TOOLS!) because I'm a stickler for being period correct. 2) Jeb lives many hours away from Nashville, so we needed to complete this in ONE DAY. Also, who doesn't love a borderline unachievable deadline!?
Special THANK YOU to my friend Jeb for coming all the way out to Nashville to help with this ridiculous build.
Cheers!

8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.

Man, I have wanted a dough trough forever- that thing is really lovely! Body mass makes a difference with at least some hand tools. I know it's easier for me to get into and through, say, a large wheel of aged gouda than a smaller person because I can lean into the wedge of the blade and use my weight to move it through the cheese. So no being hard on yourself for those planes being harder for you to use.

My father was kind enough to keep me busy throughout my childhood. He knew it would help me be the strong and generous man I am today, having learned to work hard and enjoy a good apatite every day. When I learned how to split wood, there was much to do. we burned around ten full cords every winter. Dad would cut the trees and I would go into the woods and split the rounds. I was only allowed to take two wedges and the sledge and an axe. the third wedge stayed in the sacred place dad could only touch.... if I got both of my wedges stuck, I had to come back to the house and get dad to bring the third wedge and free the ones I had got stuck. To this day, I can split an amazing amount of wood by myself. I am 61 now and there is a proud glimmering shine on my six pound maul and I cut and split around a dozen cord each year. sometimes more. I have never had any problem with the mushroom on the wedge. hit it in the center like you mean it and it will never hurt you....unless the wood is frozen. then the wedge will spit straight up into the air sometimes. I like your stuff. George.

Oh yeah I’ve seen those and they don’t work quite as well as one might hope. As far as the struggle goes, that was half the fun. Splitting big stock isn’t actually much of a challenge for me, I do it quite regularly prepping spindle stock for chairmaking classes, but in the video Jeb showed me a really cool “trick” I was stubbornly wanting to see work. Normally if I’m struggling, another wedge makes quick work of the split.

I turn a lot of bowls. I once turn them and let them dry. The more they warp, the more I like them. I would never attempt to dry a bowl in wet shavings as the wood will want to mold. Maple, because of the sugar in it is one of the worst. I would guess that the piece you have is tulip poplar. Make sure to put a 1/4 round profile on all of the edges. Any kind of 'sharp' edge is far more prone to cracking. I do take a lot of my bowls, again not the maple, and use some stretch film around the edges. A little compression, and the vulnerable edges are more protected. There are several walnut oil products specifically for bowls and 'treen' ware. The walnut oil will polymerize at room temperatures and with some sun light. They are heat treated to remove the proteins that may cause nut allergies. I use The Doctor's Woodshop stuff. Mike Mahoney is another source. I have wanted to do one of this style of bowls. Some day.....

@AnneofAllTrades Жыл бұрын

I turn a lot of bowls too. Putting them in with the shavings in a paper bag is key to a slow, even dry. Plastic bags do cause mold. The key difference with this project as opposed to my lathe projects is that I turn my bowls pretty thin so warpage can and will happen however it’s going to happen. I agree, it adds to the beauty. But with as much material as is still here, cracking would definitely happen before warping, as there’s still so much mass that tension will break (crack) before bending. Great point about the hard edges. The same is true with green carving. And I use walnut oil on my eating implements as well, I’ve probably finished 1500 spoons with the stuff at this point, and still zero complaints :)

@AnneofAllTrades Жыл бұрын

Oh and I just realized the motivation for mentioning the walnut oil may have been the butcher block conditioner I was adding at the end- that was a further attempt at preserving the wood from cracking/molding. It is in hopes that the citrus and wax combo in that product does it’s thing, to my benefit.

I wonder what the wood is for one. When trying to chop out the center, use the axe in one hand and a hammer or the other axe as a hammer and try to be a bit more accurate in the chops and cuts. Might be safer as it is controlled. That's 2. 3. Are you limiting yourself to human powered tools. I would have done the first vertical cuts with a circular saw. I want to see it actually being used. Wondered about using one myself.

@AnneofAllTrades Жыл бұрын

It’s poplar. We also made one out of cherry earlier in the week. Yes, for this project, trying to stay true to historical standards just for the challenge of it. As far as axes as hammers or hammers on axes, metal shouldn’t strike metal in these circumstances. A wood or rubber mallet, perhaps, but though it may not look it, there’s quite a bit of control swinging the axe this way. In three months, when it’s dry, we’ll use it for a pizza party and bring you along for the ride.

@@dragoncarver287 Yellow poplar or gum is traditional for these dough bowls. Especially around the Appalachia's. It's a different type of woodworking and not many people do it the way I do because it is very labor intensive. The methods I use were passed down to me by my father and he learned them from meeting people who were 3rd and 4th generation and still practiced this art. Woodworking from this region was not like other areas. They did what they had to so they could survive. In that sense things were very primitive in comparison to other areas or regions. Its an area not known for beautiful dovetails and crown molding. It's known for hand hewn logs and beams rough sawn boards. The finish on everything still has the markings from every step taken to get to where it is. Just like the logs in our cabins tell the story of adze and axe. This bowl will tell the story of hatchet, plane, and adze.
