I really like to make bowls with my driftwood scraps. The main tool is a chainsaw. It really creates endless posibbilities. There are a lot of cracks in driftwood,so I try and incorporate the breaks into the bowl. Things happen very fast so that it feels like its being done intuitively instead of a lot of thought. Just hold on and see what happens. Usually takes about an hour using 3 tools. chainsaw…grinder ….drill with 4” sanding pad. Lots of fun and easy to sell. These bowls are both redwood. The biggest bowl is 23” long and 14” wide…5” deep. The small one is about 14” at the widest.
