Now there is a question I get a lot at wood shows. "How long does it take
to turn a bowl like that?" So what kind of an answer do you give?

Darrell, I start my answer by noting that the bowl still had bark on it
when I met it. That I cut the log into bowl blanks in the woods
and lugged them out to my truck where I began the drying process by
coating the ends with a special wax emulsion. I then explain that there is
a series of mounting, turning, drying, turning and finishing that can span
several months to a year. All told, there is about a full days work
involved in each bowl.

But aint it a beaut?
