I want to carve some relatively simple wooden bowls, and since my "audience" is the SCA I really need to find an appropriate style from before 1600 a..d
This is not the only reason of course, or even the main one. Trying and learning different styles will be fun and teach me more about the craft. This will of course remain a work in progress.
The Oseberg Ship Grave wooden household artifacts ( C 834 a.d)
"kitchen utensils include four wooden trays, two whole and two fragmentary, two large cauldrons
with chains and an iron tripod to put over the fire, three barrels for storage of food and liquid, a frying pan, a set of variously sized troughs for flour and bread production, five wooden ladles, two bowls.."
From the Viking Age Queen, an article by Kirsten Ruffoni.
The images below are from Pinterest, I had trouble finding the original sites. The lack of scale is also an issue, however I will be able to copy proportions. Some of the other wooden objects look like they could be fun too

with an outside height of 1.5 units. What is a unit? well basically I measured the images at a certain size on the screen and while those measurements are in centimeters, I can use them to scale up or down the size of the bowl. This has no reflection on the real size of the bowls, sadly this is unknown to me.
