Читать книгу Scroll Saw Wooden Bowls, Revised & Expanded Edition - Carole Rothman - Страница 9

Scrolled bowls are created from concentric rings cut at an angle, then stacked, glued, and sanded to the desired shape. Making a functional and attractive three- dimensional object from a flat piece of wood is quite amazing, not to mention economical. It’s also a perfect way to use up wood you have on hand. This chapter introduces the steps involved in making a scrolled bowl. Although the focus is on bowl basics—the materials, tools, and techniques you’ll need to get started—I’ve included information that will be useful for bowl makers of any skill level who are seeking to improve the quality and variety of their work.

Attention to grain and color helps ensure an attractive bowl.

Choose wood carefully

Examine boards before you buy them. Wood that is cupped, twisted, or otherwise defective is usually no less expensive than perfect pieces with attractive grain.
