At 82yo, my grandfather uses a lathe and turns chunks of wood into some pretty wonderful stuff. He makes bowls, rolling pins, plates,.... and then sells them at the local craft shows/fairs.

When I saw this bowl, I HAD to have it and didn't want to miss the opportunity to own something of his. He also wrote the woods he used on the bottom of the bowl. (I love his old-fashioned scrawl)

It measure 10" across and 4" high.

Beautiful bowl!! You are so lucky to own this :D:D:D

He does beautiful work.

My hubby turns and your Grandpa does beautiful work!

That's beautiful!! My grandfather was a carpenter and I grew up playing in sawdust outside the door to his woodworking shop. Good memories!

Great bowl, nice to have something he made. Priceless.
