Holy hell, now, everyone is a fken pro woodworker too? I gotta step up *pushes his hat forward*

we should have a wood working sub forum.

Here are some more, the two first I gave to a friend of mine and got a handmade knife in return ^^

the finish on your bowls looks kinda rough, do you sand while on the lathe? you can also do your finishes after sanding on the lathe also, ie Wax.

Well, I learned all this stuff by myself, and there are alot of things that I miss. So yeah, makeing the surface of the bowls nice and smooth is hard for me, I just use a rough sandpaper that's it and then give it some oil.

But it must be authentic aswell, in a way the Vikings probaly would have done it. Do the sandpaper I use when no tourists are nearby

btw it's oak, not sure if that has something to do aswell?

Even i know vikings would drip this in fat or wax so they would be water proof They kind of look like authentic oldschool honey jars!

really? xD I will research that.

And yes, I guess I have to work on the design of them^^

You can get A LOT of good wood for cheap or free if you pay close attention. The way I first did it was I got in friends with a guy that does local demolition. People around town pay him to go in and tear down and haul off old barns, houses, storage sheds, etc. I have a deal with him to where I can go in first and take all the lumber I want. I just got two car trailers full of fantastic 100+ year old barn wood. Ran it through my planer one time to take the outside edge of it. Absolutely beautiful.

Must see pictures, also please list the steps you do things when using the lumber, this greatly interests me
