    I have carved many bowls for my family, but this may be the most important video I’ve watched! Many ideas on how to speed up the process. I love it!

    Starts off thinking pretty basic stuff. Then he leads you into his craft slowly but surely and you make the conclusion this guy is a master carver. He knows the woods limitations and its potential. Thankyou.

    A dying craft, getting the best out of your tools, trusting your tools and knowing how to gain the best from your tools! Not a CNC MACHINE to be seen.
    Brilliant video, thanks for sharing your time and knowledge with us.
    Take care.

    Great to see Bengt Lidström in action. I've read alot about and by him. He made so much more then carving bowls but judging on the skill one can think he did nothing else! Västerbotten (a part of Sweden where he worked) have alot to thank him for saving many many old houses and churches. He made amazing open fireplaces also.

    I visited my ancestral home of Norway for the first time, 8 years ago and was given some very old carving tools from the 1820’s which should be restored. Some of the wooden planes even have Norse designs cut into them.

    You have great wood working skills, I saw some lovely pieces of art, although the painted ones looked beautiful I would prefer an unpainted one, perhaps finished with some type of oil, how much would you charge for a piece like the one you just done.

    You saw Mr. Lyndstrom use a chain saw for what he thought was appropriate cuts. But saying that you could carve a bowl like this using only a chainsaw or do it faster is just blind and dumb. Let's see you do it. I challenge you to carve a Swedish Bowl like with all the subtle curves and decoration using a chainsaw. Put you idea where your mouth is and then show us on CZcams.

      But since Im a democrate, atheist, a logician, and I voted for Biden, I can rest easy knowing your skills of deduction are amateur at best.
      So, it doesn't bother me. Would you be bothered if someone couldn't provide rational claims against you so they just made jokes because their ability to deduce one fact from another is flawed? I wouldn't.
