The making of a wooden vessel.

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!
