    Beautiful bowl. I have a bowl somewhere that DH made while he was in high school.

    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?

    What a treasure! Beautiful bowl and history in the making and stories you get to pass on to the next generation.
