The bowl is not finished until it’s sanded.Īfter sanding – To “Buff” the wood – getting even more grain definition and drawing out more beauty that God placed into the tree – check out This is a system that will greatly improve the looks of whatever you buff and is not very difficult to do. I feel that as craftsmen – if we don’t do all we can do to show off that beauty it’s an insult to the God who made it. I am 100% in to sanding bowls slick to show off the beauty that God hid in there for us to enjoy. Contact Jason at: or call him at (828) 460-1942.

He brought several for me to try out when I was still a paid display artist for the NC State Fair, and they cut extremely well. Jason makes the sharpest tools I have ever used. Reach Ingo at: or email him at you need a well-made adze (the tools used to chop out bowls) I suggest “Jason Lonon, Toolmaker”. He is very much the outdoorsman … see him in his many videos on Youtube under “Carvings by Ingo” of Lasqueti Island, Canada.

Imagine living your life on a secluded Island off the coast of Vancouver, Canada, with a boat bringing supplies being his only connection to the mainland – living a life with minimal electricity – using solar panels all the time except the darker days of winter when he has to use a generator – and only the crafts that he excels at to get him through. Ingo will amaze you not only with his style but also with the very life that he lives. I met Ingo thru a mutual (now deceased) friend named Don Dillon. He carves Bowls / Masks / Spoons / Ladles / Scoops / Wood-Spirits – you name it he masters them all.

There’s not enough space here to describe all of his talents in carving. In addition to his beautiful symmetry – he finishes the job by sanding them all super slick.Įmail Phil at Ingo – of Lasqueti Island, Canada. He uses adzes made by Jason Lonon and does things the “old way”. He has made bowls up to around 4 feet long and loves a challenge. I may have helped to teach him but he “amazes his teacher” every time I have the pleasure to see some of his work. His “hand-hewn” bowls are the best I have ever seen that didn’t come out of my shop! Phil goes the extra mile on his bowls to thin the walls – make the sides flow seamlessly into the bottom (inside and out) and really pushes the symmetry of his work. As you can imagine – they’re not only prettier, but a finely sanded bowl is much easier to clean.Įmail Bob at Jones – of Gastonia, NC – is the absolute best bowl maker I have ever had a hand in teaching. Then he sands them smooth so you can see the graining better. He uses many types of wood and has made some really nice bowls! All are hand-hewn and very symmetrical. He learned from one of the best (me – LOL) and has impressed me with his style and quality from his very 1st bowl. He’s a “stickler” for detail and you can bet if Bob makes it – it is going to be something great. Dyrkton Ingo does have a website and I’m listing him for anyone in Canada that may want to keep from paying the high “brokers fees” at the border.īob Barrett – of Stoneville, NC – does beautiful work. But I also know 2 excellent bowl makers here in the USA that don’t have websites yet – but will make and ship hand-hewn bowls. Most work and sell bowls in their communities – Leon Neal, Raleigh, NC, Jim Young, in Georgia and Billy Parrish in S/W Mississippi come to mind here. I also know many craftsmen here in the US that make hand-hewn bowls. You can Google “handmade wooden bowls” online to find several websites that sell them. I love the high-quality tools they sell and the 1st rate customer service that they provide!

at htt ps://The tools I use for carving animals, birds, etc. There’s also links for tools, and a wonderful tool maker!įight boredom while working in your shop! Tune in to FM 98.1 WBRF radio in Galax, Va. I fully endorse the quality of their work. Below are a couple of the many bowl makers I know that may be able to help you. But I want you to be able to find what you’re after. Thanks much for visiting me! Due to declining health – I cannot make enough bowls for everyone.
