Wood turning! (or is it woodturning?) No but wood carving a walnut dough bowl for the first time! Woodworking is a passion for me whether wood-turning or wood carving! My recent retiree friend, we'll call her TB, answered the question “what bowl can I make you for your retirement” with “how about a dough bowl!” Dough bowl I thought...what the heck is a dough bowl! So after a quick internet image search, I figured out that I wouldn't be turning this bowl but carving it! Fun times in the shop trying a new technique! Another quick trip to the internet and a set of three angle grinder compatible wood carving disks we're ordered. (only about $22 dollars on Am**on)!
After just a few minutes using the wood carving disk I got a feel for how much material it was removing and although the entire project could be completed with just the carving disk I figured the process would go quicker if I removed a sizable portion of the material with a forstner bit before returning to the disk grinder. Once done with power carving the bowls shape, it was finished with 40 grit sandpaper before final sanding with 60, 80, 120 and 220 grits. The last step was a flood coat of walnut oil followed by touch-up coats in areas the walnut quickly absorbed the oil. I used Mahoney's Walnut utility oil which is advertised as food safe immediately and cures within about 24-48 hours.
