“If
a bowl is made correctly out of the right timber, it will far surpass
its maker's lifetime.”

Mike
and Paul do the hard work for you. Now all you need to do is finish
the bowl and sign your name.
Our
wood is urban forest wood; trees removed by municipalities from parks
and easements (and sometimes developments) that would usually become
firewood or pulp. We have recycled these trees into beautiful bowl blanks
so that you can make utility bowls and platters for everyday use.
We
choose hardwoods that will stand the test of time. Many hardwoods are
unforgiving if dropped or exposed to shock. The soft hardwoods (boxelder,
silvermaple, ash, elm) we use provide vertical grain and are more suited
for utility bowls. These woods tend to withstand everyday use better
than hard hardwoods (cocobolo, locust, purpleheart).
Signing
your name on the bottom of the bowl you turn will guarantee your legacy
of fine woodwork that will be cherished by friends and family long after
you are gone.
