How to Make a Rounded Wooden Bowl - Using a Router
Check out the YouTube video of me making the bowl! There is a short version and a longer version.
Glueing the Wood Up
The first thing I did was to cut the original piece up and glue it together to give it more width The bowl is made up of three sections.
Drilling the Centre
The next step was to find the centre of the bowl and drilled a whole about 3cm deep.
Using the Circle Router Jig
Then I used this simple jig I made to create two circles. The difference between the circles will be the outer wall of the bowl.
Removing the Middle
Then using a forstner bit I removed most of the middle. I then went back with the router and made sure it was all level.
Removing Excess Wood
I then cut around the bowl using my band saw.
Sanding and Finishing
Using the belt sander, I sanded the outside of the bowl. Then I gave the project a couple of coats of Danish Oil.
