Welcome to Better Bowls
Welcome to the Better Bowls online course.
I’m glad you’re here. If you’ve turned a few bowls, maybe even many, but still feel frustrated with the results or feel stuck, I understand. We’ve all been there.
You’ve invested in the lathe, the tools, and the time. But if your bowls still look ordinary, uneven, or just not what you pictured, it can be discouraging. Many woodturners stop right here, thinking, “Maybe this is as good as it gets.”
But that’s not true.
You can create bowls that are elegant, balanced, and uniquely yours — the bowls you’ve imagined.
That’s exactly why I built this course, Better Bowls.
It’s really, that simple.
You are just a few clicks away from making breakthroughs with your wood bowl turnings.
It’s easy to settle into habits or patterns that make bowls appear ordinary or the same. I’m going to show you how to overcome these habits and help you improve the way you turn bowls.
This isn’t a beginner’s course. I won’t show you how to sharpen a gouge or explain the basic steps of turning. Instead, I’ll take you deeper:
- Learn which techniques are critical to nail down.
- How to shape bowls that flow beautifully instead of looking bulky or flat.
- How to recognize and break habits that limit your progress.
- How to think differently about the process so every bowl becomes a step forward for you, not just another repetition.
In this course you will experience “ah-ha” moments, like I did when I learned these skills and techniques.
Individually, the ideas in these lessons may seem small, but together they add up to transformation.
In this course, we will cover techniques to master, limiting mindsets to avoid, pitfalls to become aware of, and ideas that will improve the quality of each bowl you turn from now on.
We’ve all been at that point where things seem to stay the same.
This course will be your go-to guide to jump any hurdles holding you back from creating the wood bowls you imagine.
My goal for this course is to help you be able to say, “My bowls are definitely BETTER now.” You will need to practice and put in the repetitions, but your efforts will be rewarded!
You can do it! And I’m here for you the whole way.
So, let’s dive in and get started on your journey towards Better Bowls!
