>I like them. I like all natural edge work Tell me, does she have a particular use for them? I mean something practical, other than the fact that they're neat to look at.

>Nice job. I like that style of natural edge bowl. One of the first years I started going to the TAW symposium there was a guy that had what he called Potato chip bowls. They were super thin and about 12" in diameter. He turned them out of crotch or curly wood and they warped like crazy. They were really pretty and unique but they didn't sell worth a darn. I guess people thought they were as fragile as they looked.

>I sold some to a Yoga center. They had an artist paint the names of rooms on the face and installed them over the doors. They are not very practical just fun to do as long as they don't taek off when your turning thm...:>)
