Those 2 parallel metal pieces ( V shaped ) sitting just behind the work piece are the blades. Not sharp on the front but the bottoms are razor like.

Thanks for looking.

But hand carved is hand carved not a cnc.

[woodturner99]

We also hand turn and have been doing so for many years. CNC just allows exact duplications when doing hundreds or thousands of pieces.

@MrLeonard55 cnc is not cheating it makes work faster so products can be cheaper ........ if a hand carve bed was 500 it can now be 300

Actually bowls can be turned on a computerized lathe

i dislike this stuff---at least, try to avoid cnc in woodturning :)

your computers can't do bowls, vessels, vases...

[MrLeonard55]

CNC is cheating.
