Usable Wood
Turnings:
Wood Turnings that
can be both displayed as art and also used as a functional piece are an added
benefit. Bowls make a great gift
for yourself or a friend. The bowls I make can be used for everyday food use or
just for display. They are easy to take care of and will last for years with
proper and easy care.
