Day Three was the consolidation of the other two days work, I didn't finish my second bowl but roughed it out to finish it later at home.
In this picture you can see the Hans Karlsson bent gouge, adze
and the Gransfor Axe I used. The very best kit and razor sharp.
This lightweight adze balances perfectly in the hand and makes less tiresome work

Robin's bowl carving course teaches you all the hand skills for splitting, cutting, hollowing and shaping
and the safe ways to do this and much more. For beginners to this way of working the Spoon carving courses are a really good way to start on a smaller scale.
I had a really enjoyable time in good company and in a fantastic location, just need sometime to unpack what I have learnt and how to use it. I now have a bent knife blade from Robin that I am making a handle for and using for a harp re-voicing in a few weeks so I will blog again when I do that!
