Wood Lathe Turning 102 - Intro to Wood Bowls

Topics include mounting a blow blank to the lathe using a face plate and glue block, rounding, shaping, hollowing, and finishing. An overview of traditional bowl gouges will be provided but carbide tip scrapers will be the main tool used in this class. One three hour class session.
