summary	Summary: Title: Adze Owner's Manual: Bowl Making from a Plank Content: - Manual for: Users of the 'Adze' tool. - Topic: Creating bowls using an adze and starting with a plank (board) instead of a log. Steps/Procedures: 1. Selecting the Right Wood: - Choose dry, non-knotty wood, like maple or ash. - Ensure the plank is wide enough to accommodate your desired bowl size. 2. Preparation: - Square off one end of the plank for stability during initial cutting. - Mark out the centerline along both width and length. 3. Initial Cutting: - Using the adze, cut along the widthwise centerline until you're about halfway through the thickness. - Turn the plank over and repeat on the other side. 4. Hollowing Out: - Start hollowing from one end using long, smooth strokes with the adze. - Keep the tool close to perpendicular to maintain even thickness. - Regularly turn the plank to work around its circumference. 5. Refining the Shape: - Use curved cuts to achieve your desired bowl shape. - For finer work, switch to a smaller adze or use a hook knife for scraping. - Ensure the bowl wall thickness is even throughout. 6. Finishing Touches: - Sand the interior and exterior with progressively finer grits. - Apply a food-safe finish, like boiled linseed oil or beeswax polish.
