This is really cool! Another fun way is to use a lathe (I guess that would be called "turning" a bowl rather than "carving" a bowl). Using a lathe would be much faster and wood lathes are relatively inexpensive.

Undeniably true, that's how wooden bowls are typically made now.

But I cannot help but feel like using a lathe misses the point of hand carving a wooden bowl. In the same way most whittling could technically be accomplished much faster using a dremel.
