In this class, students will graduate from carbide turning tools to traditional high-speed steel tools, learn the basics of bowl turning and (hopefully) leave with a finished, handmade (approximately 6-inch in diameter) wooden bowl they made themselves out of their choice of wood species.
We will begin with discussing the available wood options and looking at an example of what a finished product of each species could look like.
The instructor will then do a demonstration on proper bowl turning techniques before students turn their bowls with one-on-one oversight from the instructor.
Please Note: This is NOT a beginner woodturning class. Students should be familiar with lathe use and safety before registering, either by taking a Crow’s Nest “Introduction to Wood Turning: Pens” class or have some RECENT experience with wood turning. If you HAVE NOT taken the intro turning class here at the Crow's Nest, please contact the instructor (

Also Note: There is no guarantee your bowl will be successful and you will leave with a finished product. The instructor will do his best to get everyone through the process, but wood is an organic material, and as such, it sometimes contains unseen cracks and/or imperfections that can cause things to go sideways. This is also part of the reason that students need to be familiar with lathe operation and be comfortable with the material and tools before taking this class.
