No
Though his preference is for "natural edge" bowls for probably the
last decade, he also turns "regular" bowls as well as tops and
bottle
stoppers. But since he's been turning for 25+ years, he's probably
turned just about everything that came out over those years - even
flutes - which apparently ain't trivial to do - and have them sound
good.

Between teaching, a book he wrote and sells, doing Home & Garden
and Woodworking Shows along with craft fairs and perhaps a gallery,
he apparently brings enough to own a Stubby - and just about every
turning tool of any significance that's come out over the last 25+
years.

Taking pictures of every decent piece, signing, dating,
identifying
the wod and finish, the idea of an inventory number as well
makes
sense, especially when selling through others.
