Making a Turned Cowbow Hat
Page 3

I was treated to another new "fear" experience
as I attempted to true
the length of the blank.

Guilio pauses to give me a few pointers and a rest. The
brim is just
starting to take shape.

Since our heads are oval, not round, Guilio measures me
in both
directions for my hat size.

Now I'm into it and the shavings are coming off like butter
while the
now "liberated" water in the wood cells runs down my bowl gouge
and arm.

Getting close, we pause to measure the outside, making
allowance for the
final inside size.
