I will start with a slide show of how to cut a tree down and cut up the crotch. I will draw and discuss how to cut a tree for the nicest grain pattern in the bowl. The goal here is to get the best bowls out of the tree, not the most bowls. I will then finish turn a bowl showing how to use gouges and scrapers, sanding and finishing.
