- How To Carve A Wooden Bowl | Chop With Chris video educates you on the techniques, tools, and design to hand carve a wooden bowl. This video shows a cherry bowl from wooden stump to final carving in a Swedish design using only traditional antique tools. I hope you enjoy. Be sure to watch related videos below:

It always a great feeling bringing out the design from a block of wood. The description of the "rush" is perfect. The process of making a bowl is always better then the endpoint.
Great videos. Keep up the good work. I love the sense of rush when you are removing the rough stock.
I actually watched this video without reading the description first. When I saw the end product, it reminded me of a viking boat. then I read the blurb.
"Swedish design." Nice job transferring that design/concept.
Thanks. It turned out better than I expected.
Chris
Glad you enjoyed the video. This bowl is not used to store food so I used tung oil finish. There are several food grade oils available. The easiest one to find at hardware stores is boiled Linseed Oil. If you search online you can find several other as well. Good luck.
Chris
Nice piece, I had NO idea the amount of effort. I will never look at a handcrafted wooden bowl the same way ever.
Passion flows from within - If you have it then you will be.
Chris
Saws and chisels, you respect old world tools and the new world machines equally! Excellent mental clarity and commitment to something you love.
Thanks so much!
Appreciate seeing the cross cut sawing. A lot of hand carvers (including myself) rely on chainsaws and bandsaws so it's refreshing to see all hand
Wow, watched this again 9 years later... Slick !
Thanks!
You can really see how much you have improved over the years - it's still good work, but you're better now
Thanks!
Well said. Sometimes you tell the wood what it's going to be and other times the wood tells you what its going to be. Often I look at the wood from several angles literally for hours until I can see the endpoint in my head in 3D. Then the rest is easy.
Chris
You need to follow your passion. If you enjoy the dremmel then stick with it.
Good luck.
Chris
one false move and its fire wood !!!! great skills and some cool tools love the board blade axe
So satisfying watching woodwork
Chris, Incredible! Just started watching your videos and they are a joy to watch and very education. Thank you and well done!
+Jim Lachapelle Welcome and thank you very much!!
Heck of a nice array of tools in this video. The crosscut saw in the beginning is gorgeous, so is the broadax and the frame saws, and all the rest of it. This really looks like fun!!
That carving is amazing! It's your best one yet!!

Thanks for sharing the making of that bowl - it really turned out well. The video was informative and showed just enough of the various tools and your use of them to let the viewer see the steps. One thing is very clear; you sure know how to sharpen your tools. Keep up the good work.
you should consider selling these! i know i would pay good money for ANYTHING that you make, it's just all so amazing
Really wonderful and inspiring woodwork. Makes me want to forget about power tools for a while and get back to real craft.
I'm impressed! That's a very nice bowl.
As a swede I get really proud to see such craftmanship. Really nice work man!
That turned out great!
You have some mighty tools .Thanks .
I am so happy that you make these vedios, I loved watching the Woodwrights shop, show on PBS.
+Pete Willingham GREAT show! Thanks.
i love your table/bench with the vice built into it, if you had some time, i'd love to see some more about it. It is just ingenious! I could really use something like that.
That was impressive. I thoroughly enjoyed watching that
this is a montage of awesome rare hand tools. and i really appreciate my angle grinder and chainsaw attachment now. great vid. thanks
Beautiful work you did there. Thank you for sharing.
You are a very talented wood carver...these videos help me with my wood carving...thank you for the technical and visual techniques...
i hve to say ,,,very nice job ....very well done ,,,,,i did not think it was gonna end up like this....
The bowl looks great Chris, always a pleasure to watch you work. Cheers
MrSageflyfisher great. Send me a picture.
You work a lot like I do. My neighbors make fun of me out in the yard because I'm not plugged in and using power tools. If they decide to follow through watching what I do, they're usually awed at how fast I can complete cuts, joints, and finishing. I do stuff with manual labor and human power. Accurate and awesome.
My first hand-hewn bowl was for my grandmother upon request. She wanted a buckeye bread bowl. I did it, not so great, but nice.
My second bowl was from a cherry tree that I used to play under as a child. Urban sprawl cut the woods down and while randomly driving by, I saw my tree cut up, asked to have it. I hand-carved that one into another large bowl, first place at the KY State Fair that year.
Thank you for your content!
WOW. That’s awesome! Keep it up!!
I love the sound in your videos
Nice job.
Sweet sharp tools.
is a piece of art!

I will send you a note directly by this weekend.
Chris

Chris
Beutiful master piece! I might try to make this bowl one day :)
Beautiful work! Thanks so much!
You are most welcome.
I have never seen those cutting tools before... you got quite the variety there lol
Thanks - I love to find new tools at the flea market!
Chris
Superb Work!!! Thanks so much for a great video and even more so the talent you've shown in the carving. Magnificent!!
Thank you very much!
Wow! I'm impressed!
Thanks
I give them to friends as gifts, use them to store, mail, remote controls, etc. or display them in my basement.
I just enjoy making them.
Chris

For me this a real and true cranftman whit electrical machines whoever is a artist
Thank you!
great video
great tools

cheers
Chris-- It's now 3am here in SC, & I see no end yet. I found your channel quite by accident about 2 hrs ago, and haven't paused yet! To see the passion you put into this craft is amazing. It's so refreshing in this age of computers and everything having a power cord dangling that you forego all the BS and do all this awesome woodwork with only modest handtools. You've definitely got a new sub AND several likes from me! Keep up the totally cool work, and I'm off to watch your maple wooden bowl now!
Thanks so much. I hope you can catch up on your sleep this weekend.
Awesome man! Thanks for sharing your skills! Very inspiring!
Thanks
Loved this video. Thanks
Thanks
Matt,
The chisel is called a "slick" and it used for finishing large flat surfaces like log cabin beams. I got this at an Amish auction in southern Pennsylvania. It was missing the handle so I made one out of walnut. I paid $30 but you can find them in antique stores and ebay for anywhere from $80 to $250. I see them occasionally and can look for one for you if you would like me to. Send me a personal message if you would like to pursue further. Thanks for the question.
Chris
Amazing work Chris! Nice set of tools too..lol
Beautiful bowl. great video very informative design, tools and techniques nicely done.
You are most welcome
I don't know what it is... but i find your videos absolutely incredible... i get lost in them lol
You are a maniac of axes Chris ;-)
+Tomek Jaglinski No doubt
wow! great work!
Thanks
Maple is fine to use. I prefer green wood since its less likely to crack when I am hewing. An unheated shed is not nearly enough as the wood wants to equalize the moisture with the atmosphere. I recommend you place the bowl in paper grocery bags and then place that in a garbage bag. Then each day replace the grocery bags as they will absorb the moisture slowly from the wood. Also turn the garbage bag inside out as well to evaporate the moisture. Check out 2 of my videos (IV and V).
i really like your work, i wish you could show us more of the process especially the last stages and the finishing. thank you
+Laurent Nahra I plan to make another bowl and will definitely do this.
It's a Beatty. About 150 years old. It's the most perfectly designed and balanced tool I own. I told my wife I want to be buried with it!
Best of luck!
@fraudioc,
I am flattered that I inspire you given all the inspiration your beautiful country has all around you. I use tung oil finish but I'm not sure it is food safe. You can use mineral oil, boiled linseed oil, and peanut oil to name a few. Do an internet search for food safe oils and you will find some more.
Chris
I love you work man! Greetings from Uruguay!
