I am always on the lookout for wood and if I get something I try and make something for the donor. Mary's neighbor took down a tree and by the time I got there he had gotten rid of all but one log so I took it and made a bowl. The bowl is cool in that it has a bark inclusion on the base and some sort of inclusion running through the bottom of the piece and makes the C shape in the bottom of the bowl. ....
The bowl had been hanging around the house and I was trying to find out what type of tree it was. Mary said that it was one with the bark that falls off. Sycamore, one of the many types... So when I heard that he was selling the house soon because they are going through a divorce, I thought it important to get it to him. I gave it to Mary to deliver and it turns out that his wife was there most of the day cleaning out stuff from the house and after she left, Mary delivered the bowl and he was very appreciative of it. With all the disruption in his life, this is a touch of memory of something that grew during the good times of his life there.
