James has been chopping out bowls for over 9 years now. He uses Locally Grown and Harvested Pickens County, SC Hardwoods. He begins by cutting the tree into lengths for the bowls, and then sawing the log into slabs on our sawmill. After sawing, the bowl is usually made as soon as possible.
James then takes the bowl blank and draws a outline for the bowl. He then starts taking wood from the inside of the bowl with his bowl adze. The adze is like a hammer with a large gouge at the front that removes big chips of wood. After getting to the inside guideline, he starts on the outside of the bowl. He then cuts away the bulk of the outside of the bowl with a chain saw, hatchet, or his bowl tool, from the outside.
" Behold the Lamb of GOD which taketh away the Sins of the World." John 1: 29
