Hi all,

A club member (who is an experienced and accomplished turner) is leaving
us
and I'm looking for some ideas of gag gifts for him. I've thought of
making
some training wheels for his bowl gouge but I'm having trouble coming up
with more ideas either made or bought. Oh, and I need to have them ready
by
tomorrow afternoon!

How about making a BIG (wood) bowl gouge? A member of our club made
one....handle from Spanish cedar and the shaft from Southern
Yellow Pine. Looked exactly like an Ellsworth Singature gouge, but it was
almost 4ft long. Correct "grind" and all. He said it
was for turning Jello.
