Editorial Reviews: Product Description Handhewn bowls are one of the oldest crafts known to humanity, but one which has been almost lost. This new book will help reduce the trend and revive interest by introducing the carver and woodworker to exciting new possibilities. Using only hand tools, the bowl adze, a bowl shave and a carver's hook, Rip and Tammi lead the carver or sculptor through the steps of this satisfying art. They begin with a blank and conclude with an oil finish process that makes the bowls beautiful and perfectly safe for use with food. Each step is illustrated in color, with a complete description of design and technique concerns. Both the beginner and the experienced woodworker will enjoy the creation of these functional, beautiful pieces.

Customer Reviews: An honest try at a difficult task. October 17, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book follows the carving of one traditional bowl, largely with photographs. This is it's strength and its weakness. Whatever you need to do to carve this bowl has been photographed and included in this book. But photographs are static, and when carving, the movement of the chisel (roll, sweep, or wiggle) can be critical. The text for each photo tries to explain the necessary movement. However, I found myself wishing arrows had been drawn on some photos to communicate the chisel movement. Then a key at the front of the book could standardize what the arrows mean, and show 'before' and 'after' photos for each of the arrowed movements. To be fair, no carving book I own (20+) does this, I just wish they did.
