Hi all, just had a go at burning a bowl, this was after seeing it done on one of the link sites. I don't think it's to bad for a first attempt and the other half was thrilled with the burn holes in the tee shirt.
Anyone else had a go at this?

Hi buddy - haven't tried this myself yet but have thought about giving it a go. Have you got any pictures that you can post here ?

Well only got the finished item, when I get some pictures and put them on flickr will post it up.
Sorry did not think about taking pictures while doing it. Maybe next time.
And sorry you burnt through the side, I used a bit of apple I got from Axminster tools near me for 1.50, but it is very hard to carve back as very seasoned.

I made this olive oil lamp last year with the burning/scraping technique, was slow but pretty cool trick to know. It now resides on the window sill in the kitchen. :)

Ok so here are some pictures, as it is and the axe is only a small one to give scale.

The sides are a bit heavy but as I said the wood is very seasoned and very hard to carve.
Sorry still getting to sort this photo thing bloody technology, thats why bushcraft skills are so nice.

That looks great. Is it burnt and sanded or worked with a knife.

Typically you have to burn a bit, scrape the ash and char out, burn more, scrape, burn, scrape, etc. until you get it the depth and shape you want, then sand after. So to answer your question, yes. :)

Sorry been away with no Internet. However as mike said yes a small scrape then add some embers,
Well large lumps, then blow on them hence the holes in my tee shirt misses loved that.
Eventually I cleaned it with my crook knife and sanded.
Outside took most of it off with saw and rasp, then sanded. When I get back and some time will
Oil it with either linseed or olive oil. Will post pictures then.
