Chip’d bowl

Finally the first post on the new site . I feel like I am back in the grove.

I promised to catch you up on my projects, the first of which is the chip carved bowl.

I have been learning and practicing my chip carving with intention of bringing the skill into my turning as a surface treatment.

I was tripping over this peice of cottonwood so I decided to use it to experiment.

With a sharp knife the cottonwood carved successfully (not as nice as basswood).

It turned out better than I expected and this peice of firewood is now on the hearth in the family room.

Boy I have way to many “round things”
