William,

This is a beautiful bowl. Everytime I see something like this it serves to remind me that I don’t have a lathe in my shop. I really like the wood combination and the design that you executed with this piece.

Thanks for the post and the story behind it.

Very Very nice bowl, I love the contrasting wood and the pattern. The way that you Undercut the lip’s edge gives it definite character and beauty. Keep the projects coming, Look forward in seeing them.

William,

I join in the chorus singing the praises of your craftsmanship. Hand crafted expressions of care and compassion are always more meaningful in times of sorrow and loss. I trust that your boss will recognize just how special is the gift of your time and talents.
