The scroll-saw is a great tool and this will even make it more interesting in making bowls too …………Marshall

What a neat idea – just love to learn from very creative people. But PLEASE – put on the safety glasses. Even a scroll saw can pop blades.

I ordered the book to get more ideas. I will probably use a combination of the scroll saw and a lathe. Experimenting with this should be a lot of fun and maybe less time consuming than making segmented bowls.

Thanks for putting this on the web site

I heard an interview that Carole did on another podcast, but I never pictures the bowls to be that amazing.

Wow, nice bowls. Me being closeminded never thought about doing bowls with a scrollsaw.

Aggie, they are also very functional. I use the rectangular ones all the time as bread baskets, and small round ones for nuts. If I’m going to use them with food, I finish them with shellac or oil. And they are a great way to use up scraps of wood!

I’m not real big on decorative bowls, but I can see a certain beauty in these and I do find the technique interesting.

I’m glad to spread the word about what can be done with the scroll saw. I pushed to get the book out as soon as I could because I thought it was such an exciting medium. And for people who use the lathe and other shop tools, it opens up a whole new set of possibilities. And I’m always glad to answer questions about my work–and to help anyone who decides to give bowls a try.

A scroll saw? really? That’s amazing!! I had absolutely no idea you could do that with a scroll saw. I think this book is going on my Christmas list.

i specialize in segmented turning(click my name for link), and so far have had no “surprises” with the glue. i guess it comes down to laziness for me. i like to let the lathe do most of the work. also i would be afraid i would get flat spots instead of gentle curves on my pieces. never the less, it works well for you, and ideas like this always open up doors on down the road. thanks
