Router Bowls - New woodshop classes on the way

There is a new series of classes being created that are the next step up from cutting boards. These classes teach you how to create bowls and trays with a hand router. If this looks like fun, let us know in the comments what kind of items you might enjoy making.

The concept is simple:

You take one of these(small, so everyone can use it)

and some wood like:

And make something like this:

Time to have some more fun.

Here is a sample video of one method. BTW, We will be using our lasers to skip making templates the hard way.

Fun, I’m down. Could easily see making change bowls and dice trays. Maybe a charging station for my phone and watch.

Definitely interested!
Would the class also cover ways to make food safe items?

That would be a really interesting class! I like the look of the tray with 3 distinct areas. Are these your own personal images of ones you’ve done?

Nope, not mine. I expect we will be seeing some crazy awesome designs out of this crowd. Since we have those laser cutters, we aren’t constrained to templates someone else is selling. Let the creativity run wild!

Food safe is a matter of the wood that you use, and the finish. I am assuming that wood you might use for a cutting board could also be used for bowls.

I would be interested in this and I can’t wait to see what people make. :smiley:

I would definitely take this, but I’d want to practice on something like pine before risking a nice piece of wood; especially something laminated/segmented.
