I enjoyed turning the bowl from the previous video so much I made another one. Much less editing (and no waffling) in this video - hope you enjoy this format. Let me know if you do or don't!

In this one I'm trying a new style of handled bowl - using a bit of avocado wood that has some unfortunate end checks in it. I think it turned out pretty cute, and I'm looking forward to painting it. What would you like to see from me next?

I don't use these two tools all that often, but when I do they're very handy and can save a lot of time and stress on your hands. The bigger the bowl on your spoon, the more benefit you get from starting it out with an adze, but it's handy even on small ones just to break up the fibres. Are there any other tools you'd like to see me demonstrate?

I spent about 30 minutes on this bowl from start to finish. I've tried to clearly show all of the steps, but if you'd like to see a narrated version with some more information let me know! The wood is some kind of prunus, probably plum.

Ever wondered what one of my intro workshops is like? Here's a little behind the scenes. The basic formula is this: We acknowledge first that we're meeting on unceded indigeous land, in this case Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Country. Then I explain a little about greenwoodworking and how it's different from other forms of woodcraft. I demonstrate and explain how I axe out the spoon blanks, and everyo...

www.littlebearsloyd.com/ Riven from a large diameter elm trunk for close-to-perfect radial grain, these plates are sturdy and practical! Hand turned on the pole lathe and fully tool-finished for a wonderful feel and texture. Finished with hempseed oil and beeswax. The plates are all around 8" in diameter. A little smaller than a dinnerplate, a little bigger than a side plate. Great for sandwich...

I need a new workbench for greenwoodworking, and I think the low roman style bench is the perfect fit. My last bench was a shorter one with only four legs. This time I'll be following the instructions in Christopher Schwarz's 'roman workbenches' article, eight legs and all. I'm starting with a large board of merbau, just over 2m long, 300mm wide, and 45mm thick. I'm going to add workholding to ...

A quaich is a traditional drinking cup from Scotland, typically turned or carved from wood with two, sometimes four handles. I don't think people usually make them this wee. It's a fun challenge to turn what is basically a tiny bowl without compromising the finish or proportions. I'd recommend it! Happy turning. If you're not sure what a pole lathe is, check out some of my earlier videos in thi...
