Hello! My brother has been wanting to carve a bowl out of this pretty plume agate he found and we’re figuring out what tools would be best! So far we have a dremel and diamond grit bits but they’re small.. any idea what would make the job a bit easier on us? Thanks in advance 😊

Beat me to it Pat ! 🤣 I’m thinking tiny bowl… I could probably get through with a Dremel. Don’t know about larger. Will be interested to hear. |

I made a birdbath, which is really just a bowl.

I have made a few bowls using pretty much exactly the same technique as Jared. I did one thing that he didn't do though. I made the bottom flat so it would set nicely on a table. I thought my method of using a laser level worked really well for this. My video on it is pretty old, but I think it might be useful for you.
