  Very Nice video showing a great craftsman at work making it look easy. But this should be called Wood Turning instead of Wood Carving.

  At 6:00 it looks like he is using a “Hook” tool, don’t see that tool used very often anymore. Then around 6:40 it looks like he is using a cabinet scraper, or card scraper on the inside of the bowl to finish it. Interesting as the Japanese still use a similar thing in their traditional turning here.

  Great video!

  Actually, at 6:40 since he already just sanded it w/ sandpaper, and afterwards grabs the shavings and rubs them in. More likely I think that he applied a stick of wax, and was using the shavings to burnish with.

  Very nice. Although the music doesn’t really go with it. Hope there’s more where that came from.

  Hard to say what kind of wood that was, but very plain grain. At first, I thought the wood was wet……but, the dust from sanding convinced me I was wrong…..very dry. Had to be “seasoning for quite awhile for it to be that dry in a block form.

  Wood turning just like it’s done today. This guy is a master of the tools. Interesting use of the hook tool. Thanks for sharing!

  Fascinating. I watched to the end without even noticing how the time passed. He made himself a bread container. I always wanted to be a carpenter.

  After sanding he uses wood shavings to high shine the wood. Gives a much better luster than just sanding. Great workmanship, a real craftsman.
