Natural Edge Bowls

Prerequisites: Bowl 1 and Bowl 2 - or approved equivalent experience

Instructor Mark Irving ---- September 13 & 14, 2008

While it is relatively easy to envision a regular bowl within a tree trunk or limb, a natural edged bowl is the exact opposite. The bark side of a bowl blank becomes the top of the bowl; the pith side of the blank becomes the bottom of the bowl. This also accounts for the fact that many natural edged bowls appear, and in fact are, longer than they are wide. Natural Edge Bowls can be tricky. They require delicate cuts that keep the bark on, proper grain orientation, and careful bowl blank alignment. This course is designed to show you how to eliminate the problems, have fun doing it and give you a couple of nice natural edged bowls in the bargain. Everybody likes natural edged bowls.
