![]() Marked splits like those to the left in (photo 2) are easier to avoid as you layout the blanks. From a log, dock a length equal to the diameter, and stand this on end so you can layout the blanks on the endgrain. Endgrain bowls are likely to split or distort at the pith and are more likely to break than a cross-grained bowl when dropped. Hollowing into endgrain is not a good idea: first, it’s hard work but then, even though that does provide a bark rim, the alignment of the wood within the bowl makes for a weak structure. You need to have the grain aligned across the blank as is usual for bowls. Such material will give you concentric rings into the base on the inside, as well as a visually balanced rim. With other species it seems to be pot-luck.įor this sort of bowl, look for a section of log that is knot free with fairly straight and even grain. Some logs will almost always dry satisfactorily whilst retaining the bark, like Tasmanian horizontal scrub, claret ash, and some redgum. įor the best chance of retaining the bark, the tree should be felled in the winter when the sap isn’t rising. This means that from a perfectly round log with the pith in the centre you can cut three or four bark-rimmed bowls where you’d normally extract only two conventional bowls.įor more information and tips visit our YouTube Channel or go to our website. Because this is an out-flowing form the blanks can be wedge-shaped. This open bowl with its out-flowing profile will have its top two points on one horizontal plane, and the lower points of the rim on another. Both those require particularly spectacular material, but here I’ll show you how to create a saddle shaped bowl from an ordinary round log with a bark rim that looks oval from above. A bark or natural-edge rim can point up jagged as a mountain range, or it can be flat with an edge to rival a fjord coastline. The urge to retain the bark of a log or the spiky surface of a burl is pretty well irresistible if it’s free of defects. Such bowls are generally referred to as bark-rimmed or live-edge bowls unless the bark is removed, at which time they become natural-edged bowls.
