Deep Curved Bowl Adze with hand-forged carbon steel blade and ash wood handle

Shaped by hand, guided by grain

Deep Curved Bowl Adze by Sharky Forged Steel Tools—steel that meets ash, ready for the quiet work of hollowing.

At the block

A morning of arcs and shavings

Curved with intent

Rough blanks resist guesswork; they need a tool that knows the hollow from the start. The Deep Curved Bowl Adze, 5 cm, lands precisely where bowls, ladles, and spoons begin to take breath. Its sharpened edge and ergonomic ash handle meet the wood with measured confidence, balancing control with steady removal. Hours at the stump feel calmer when the swing finds its natural path.

From strike to shape

A dedicated bowl adze changes the pace of carving—each cut follows the curve you meant, not the one you settle for. At 40.5 cm long with a hand-forged 52100 carbon steel blade, it sits well in the hand and stays at the work, whether you favor hard or soft woods. The handle’s linseed finish adds quiet grip, so the focus stays on grain and depth. Real progress shows up in clean scallops and an even basin.

For the committed maker

Woodworkers who move from log to form—hobbyist or professional—seeking a reliable, medium adze for hollowing and detailed shaping.

In practice

Set the blank secure, mark your basin, and take rhythmic, controlled swings to hollow bowls, ladles, or spoons with consistent curvature.
