A friend has gone most of the way through chemo.
Being the optimist that she is, Carol saw that losing
her hair presented an opportunity - to go shopping
-for a whig, some hats AND a turban or two.

So, I turned her a whig/hat/turban stand and "enhanced"
it a little (pics in a.b.p.w - And Now For Something
Completely Different).

Friend's reaction to The Piece has been
a) laughter
b) that, almost to a man/woman, know
someone in chemo therapy.

That got me thinking "We all love to turn wood.
We all are always on the look out for some
new idea for a turning. Most of us know someone
who is in chemo, or know someone who knows
someone in chemo.

SO - why not put one of these things on your
turning list. The Cancer Society can be found
in your yellow pages. When you've got one done
give it to someone you know in chemo - or
get it to the Cancer Society. You could help
someone's life take a turn for the better.
Laughter is truly a good medicine and people
with a lot of things on their mind could use
getting something special.

Maybe this would make a good turners club project.
Hell, the Stubby owners could turn Floor Models
of the idea. Doesn't require a big lathe though.
Did one on my JET mini/midi

At least think about it - ok?
