Phillip’s polished woodwork shines and glimmers, and perfectly shows off the gorgeous grain of the wood that he’s used. But how does a craftsman go about making something like this? It turns out, the whole process is simple, even if it does require a lot of skill.

Getting Ready

Here we see Phillip measuring up a yew log. He’ll drill a hole into the middle of the log so it can be held in place when he attaches it to a lathe.

Drilling Down

It would seem logical to make a bowl that follows the circular shape of the log. But logical is boring, so Phillip is going to make a long, wide bowl instead.
