A suggestion: How about turning something plain and ordinary with simple
tools today as a mark of respect and thanks? It might be a way to
enhance the enjoyment of a great craft and link us with those who came
before. A homely bowl, rough chair leg or tacky candlestick with no
decoration or enhancement kept in the shop might keep us humble and
that's not a bad thing.

But what can those of us who can do no better than turn homely [read: homey]
bowls?
