Scroll Saw Wooden Bowls, Revised & Expanded Edition: 30 Useful & Surprising Easy-to-Make Projects

Description

While wood bowls are commonly made on a lathe, this updated and expanded guided resource offers 28 projects for crafting beautiful bowls with the more accessible scroll saw. Each project is organized in a progressive learning format; beginning crafters can start with the most basic starter bowl and gradually work their way toward more elaborate bowls-such as laminated swag bowls; a flared lobed bowl made with varied angles; a thin, eight-segmented bowl; and an inward curving bowl. Original patterns for other types of vessels include a vase, a ginger jar, and a candy dish. For advanced wood crafters, an appendix expands upon the earlier material and pushes wood artists to create new patterns or adapt the existing ones to create art of their very own.

An eldercare specialist, Carole has co-authored two books on caregiving: I'll Take Care of You and the 2002 IPPY Award-winner for best self-help book, Are Your Parents Driving You Crazy. A skilled speaker and interviewee, she has been a guest on scores of live TV and radio shows throughout the U.S. After joining a community woodshop, she quickly mastered the scroll saw and began teaching the tool to her neighbors and friends. Although from time to time she has encountered jealousy and disdain from her male woodworking counter-parts, Carole doesn't let their attitude get her down. Instead, she keeps on cutting and lets her work speak for itself.

This bowl technique has been around for years but Carole has taken the art to a new level. Carole also has a refreshing teaching style that is both easy to follow and concise. --Scrollsaw Workshop The projects are organized in a progressive learning format, so everyone can find something exciting to make -- even a new scroller! --Midwest Book Review
