No.

It would just embarrass Arch and there are no laws on that issue. Well
-- none that apply here anyway.

Considering the potential source of the wood material perhaps we should
have a thread on "immoral rights" -- and all that stuff. :-)



Unless you wanna insist the copy machine is an artist.... LOL

Those bowls are thick enough to try to refine a reasonable shape out of
them. Sadly they're cut with no regard to grain direction or color. I
thought about doing just what you suggest every time I drove past that
big "Walnut Bowls" sign on I-80. They are a heck of a lot cheaper than a
bowl blank at the woodcraft.

I always said to people if you make a copy Michelangelo's "David" from a
pile of crud, you still have the crud -- no matter the form.

Bill, are those mass produced walnut bowls cheap yet suitable bowl
blanks...or is that against the rules? In my wickedness and vice, I
thought about re-turning some bowls and platters from Target & WalMart,
but Far East wood is too identifiable and..... Oh the humiliation! if
the public prefers original Target over my 'artistic upgrades'.
