DIY Rustic Bowl [No Lathe]

- In this video I show how I made a bowl from a solid piece of Ash. I do not use a lathe to make the bowl, instead I use a speedcutter from Graff. It attaches to an angle grinder and easily carves the wood away.
The wood has had been drying for about 2 years in a shed before use. You could use greener wood but it will probably split when it dries which could look great and even more rustic!
I went for a basic curved shape but you could play around with different shapes and designs.
Its a nice little project to try during this lock down we are all having at the moment (Covid-19) Stay safe and thanks for watching.

nicely done. I'm a turner but I do make carved bowls too. I'd like to add one point of caution. those speedcutters especially the ones that are basically chainsaws on a wheel, have been responsible for some TERRIFIC injuries. They look so easy to use, but if you let it get away from you just slightly, they can really mangle whatever they touch. I've used a chainsaw for 50 years, and that is different. They are dangerous for sure, but you have bakes on moderns chainsaws, plus the cutter is further from you and more mass so it doesn't kick quite so quickly as a hand held grinder. In general the grinder works very well and can make you forget that at all times you keep BOTH hands on the tool.
You definitely need to be very carful with grinder carving ! You can do serious harm to yourself if that grinder grabs the back of the inside of your bowl and rips it out of your hands. Grinders do not turn off very easily!
How long should the wood dry before doing this?
Nicely done! May i ask- what was the thickness of stump you used? Looks about 12-14 inches? Thx
I love this
Thanks eamon I’m gonna try this one
Nice work. I'd to know which is the second tool you used to flatten the bowl
Beautiful 😍
Last time I used something along these lines, it yanked me across the log. It was one of those chainsaw pieces that connects to an angle grinder. Dumb be touched the log across the grain. Chain bit into the log and yanked me hard. ;)
Those turned out great Eamon.
It's so nice just because it has a lot of imperfections. Nowadays people try to get it perfectly round, perfectly straight and so on, but the true pleasure of working is in this kind of things.
Best bowl carving video on the internet !
I recently got a wood carving disc for my angle grinder and a world of opportunities opened up before me as I saw what it could do. I live in the country so getting hold of a chunk of wood like this is relatively simple. Thankyou. you've inspired me to create.
Brother....this is the best bowl I have ever seen...salute to you for your craft
Way cool! Very simple but time consuming. Great idea! ❤❤❤
This is so simple it's amazing. I'm gonna bust out my angle grinder more often.
Great result without using lathe.
That Ash wood cookie dried perfectly. I have a 14"x3" arbutus wood cookie I've been drying for a half year now that I had taken from a firewood stump, so one side was already seasoned and finely checked on that exposed end. I coated the cut end with wood glue and hopefully it dries out nicely and doesn't crack up on that side since I'm planning on using it for the seat of a stool.
beautiful
Very enjoyable watching you carve that bowl. Good job mack. Thx for sharing.
