Leather bowls

[Webicons]

I’ve heard of people using nesting Tupperware bowls as forms. Or perhaps a more traditional method; mounting a bowl onto a board and then using a wood circle cutout on top to clamp the leather down. 
Unless you have a lathe I reckon that making the form seem in the video would be difficult.

Luckily, I used to be a professional chainsaw carver. I should be able to come up with something.

Good deal. I personally prefer the wooden forms over the other way. Just me I guess. It’s an almost forgotten way.

Well that’s something you don’t hear everyday!  It’s always interesting to hear everyone’s other hobbies/skills.  Looking forward to seeing that bowl with some carved bears.

Ha! I started with bears but fish were my bread & butter. Haven't done it professionally in over a decade.
