Here's a photo journal of some steps involved in the creation of a wooden vessel. I will use few words and many pictures. The first step is acquiring a log from a locally fallen tree. In this instance it's a Boxelder log that I located at the Fergus Falls' landfill's wood pile (more on that later).   Rip the log down the middle.  Trim the edges.  Begin carving the vessel's containment area.  Top side/containment area complete.  Remove excess mass from underside and mark feet locations.  Carving completed. Fast forward through drying; final sanding and shaping; dying of the underside; applying oil; waxing; and...Ta Da, finished piece!
