Description

Caret Down
While wooden bowls are commonly made on a lathe, this guided resource offers 28 projects for crafting beautiful bowls with the more accessible scroll saw. Each project is organized in a progressive learning format; beginning crafters can start with the most basic starter bowl and gradually work their way toward more elaborate bowls-such as laminated swag bowls; a flared lobed bowl made with varied angles; a thin, eight-segmented bowl; and an inward curving bowl. Original scroll saw patterns for other types of vessels include a vase, a ginger jar, and a candy dish. For advanced wood crafters, an appendix expands upon the earlier material and pushes wood artists to create new patterns or adapt the existing ones to create art of their very own.

an exploration of vase and jar making using the same techniques. The minimum presentation for each project consists of a photo of the finished bowl, the drawings necessary to cut oul the shapes, instructions and a guide to materia and tools. The more complicated projects are given a larger amount of space with detailed instructions and stage by stage photographs. Since the methods used are relatively simple, there is no reason why this book should not appeal to the novice, while the attractive and useful projects should hold the interest of the more experienced.
A scrollsaw is probably not the first machine you would think of, if you wanted to make bowls. But, as the author of this book shows, some very attractive and innovative bowls can be made with a scrollsaw. Approximately the same method is used for making all 2B bowls. The worktable of the saw is set at an angle and the bowl cut out in horizontal strakes which generally grow larger towards the top. The bowl is completed by a solid bottom. When all of the strakes and the bollom are finished, they are glued together and the bowl is finish sanded using, where possible, portable sanding equipment and a spindle sander. The first bowl is a simple circular shape, but the second begins to demonstrate the design freedom inherent in the technique. Called an Eight

saw work usually results in straight cut pieces such as those for jigsaw puzzles. Rothman has devised her own method of making slanted cuts by tilting the saw table. Progressively smaller pieces are cut, stacked, and glued to form bowls resembling those turned on a lathe. Projects include pieced designs using different woods.

About the Author

Carole Rothman’s varied accomplishments—PhD (clinical psychology), college teacher, eldercare and care-giving expert, professional cake decorator, and musician—have won praise from many quarters.  But it was her lifelong love of crafts that took an unexpected turn when she joined a community woodshop in 2005.  Intrigued by the potential of the scroll saw, she started exploring its possibilities.  Her innovative projects, coupled with skill as a seasoned writer and presenter, quickly established her as a major contributor to the woodworking scene.   Her first book, Wooden Bowls from the Scroll Saw, published in 2010, was the first comprehensive presentation of the theory and technique underlying the art of the scrolled bowl.  This book was followed in 2012 by Creative Wooden Boxes from the Scroll Saw, a collection of unique and innovative boxes, none of which require traditional joinery.  Her technically oriented articles about the scroll saw and other tools, as well as interesting and challenging instructional projects, appear frequently in woodworking magazines.  Her blog and YouTube videos not only inspire interest and enthusiasm, they allow for direct interaction with viewers and readers.  In the newly revised edition of Wooden Bowls from the Scroll Saw, now titled Scroll Saw Wooden Bowls, Carole provides updated information on tools and techniques, as well as a number of new projects that take the art of the scrolled bowl to a new level
