Just got back from a craft sale, made a few bucks, not bad. Got this
piece, a burr-yew box with a fancy alabaster lid, this old lady looked
at it and said she liked it, I turned it round to show her a natural
hole and burr shape in it, "Oh its a pity about that isn't it", Doh!
Turned out she wanted perfect, no features and looking like polished
glass.
Those are the folks that I direct to the nearest Wal-Mart..

I like pieces with 'character'.
As someone on this group once told me, "If it holds water, it's a bowl - if
it doesn't it's Art."

I`ve just been given some wood and it bears the mark of woodworm. Do I
turn
it and whatever is showing is the way it is or are people that fussy?
The reason I ask is that my wife was given a bowl as a present from a
"pro"
woodturner. No bowl will leave my shop with tearout on show but what do ye
think ?
