How very special to have such a family keepsake.

Like a few others on here, my Dad (at 88), still turns bowls. He was asked to joing our state's League of Arts and Crafts but wanted to have fun, not a business. He donates them for non-profits to use as fundraisers. Makes me wonder...is there a quilting, wood working realtion?
