Red Alder Bowls...... W I P

If you haven't already, check out Turn a Wood Bowl. Very good videos on basic gouge usage. I learned most of what I know from that site. Kent Weakley teaches you how to use the traditional gouges in a traditional way. Some of the other masters have their own style and ways. However, I wouldn't have wanted to learn from scratch from those turners. They often use odd grinds, used in odd ways. Richard Raffan, in particular, uses a LOT of scrapers. My point is this: Learn the basics from a teacher who teaches the basics. After that, you can expand your horizons.
