i have some other stuff in the works but as bowls are the new thing I make when I am upset and can't think... here are the seven bowls I've made since tuesday....

Three maple bowls with contrasting hardwood lips. Pictured holding crystals but you can use them to hold w/e. Three maple bowls with a bit of figure and a lil spalt on one. They are pictured holding crystals but you can have them hold whatever you want that fits in a bowl. Or use them for chips if you know how to care for wood bowls (no dishwashers) (no submerging or soaking)(not really ideal for wet foods) A pedestal wood bowl, or fat goblet... displays a pyrite cluster. It has some interesting color and spalt lines.

Walnut bowl with wenge lip. A perfect way to display a collection of crystals, dice, jewelry, or seasonal dried herbs or potpourri.

Reached out to local democratic party chairs over our representatives frequent disappointing votes and, I may be reading to much into it, but it seems like there is some consensus over her performance being less than satisfactory
"Hi Cen, I am going to see one of MGP's staff this week and will share this with them. That doesn't mean we have much influence in her votes, but you should know we are trying." (also some pleasantries)

While squaring up blanks for the other bowls in this last group for turning I couldn't just let the wonderful grain and spalting on the off-cuts go to waste. A little bit from each blank became part of an all new bowl.

I know we all have a lot on our (metaphorical) plates right now and I can't help with that... unless one of those problems is "way to gather/display/contain collection of small objects"... then I can help with plates (bowls)

Really like how the walnut and wenge work together. Its also nice that the wenge for this piece was originally a (failed mill) dice box I've held onto for like 5 years and was finally able to repurpose as part of a lathe project. No scraps left behind!

I played magic before getting into D&D and despite d20s and other dice being around magic players (then, 1996) didnt use them, you had glass beads or pennies for counters and a die-cast life counter or nothing at all

nobody knows why as dice became the norm later

Just put two larger walnut pieces in the shop in my "Offering Vessels" theme. A nice lipped bowl and a walnut burl and myrtle vessel. The sun was also cooperating today.

If you need/are interested in a fancy way to keep your new shiny math rocks on your desk between and during your video conferenced TTRPG sessions, can I humbly suggest these little footed bowls/goblets/cauldrons I've been making.
