A local church had a dogwood tree cut and offered me the wood. The
section nearest the ground was 16 inches in diameter. Biggest durn
dogwood I ever saw. Will have enough for 8 large bowls and a bunch of
smaller ones. Been slicing and sealing, roughed out a few.
Christmas in November.

Of the 2 roughed out bowls that you sent, one was solid pink and the
other was slightly spalted and very pretty..
I gave both 2 coats of natural Danish oil and then buffed them and
they were very pretty bowls..

The event was "Woofstock" and raised quite a bit, I think it was

etc....
