5/4/12 | This is just one of four tabletops of winter turnings we set up/buffed and priced
for the upcoming summer markets and art shows. There were over 150 price stickers used so must have been busy at some point this winter haha We concentrated on smaller turnings this year
so most are from 15.00 to 35.00 .We will continue to have large salad bowls also avail. There are a few at 45.00 to 85.00

2/6/12 | Well, got the good news that we have been accepted into the 2012 sunday Everett Farmers Market under the new owners. Getting out the checkbook and spending some money! Its a wonderful setup for both venders and customers. June 3rd thru Oct 7th Space 13 on the front row with a open view of the marina behind us. Turning in the shop contiues daily with a wonder batch of new burls that have kept the bark on them so that they will be even more unique. We are also trying out some new dyes for a series of colored bowls both natural and conventional edged. They will be posted as time allows. Shop construction continues also! with 12- 4x8 ceiing pannels painted and drying awaiting a week end of help from both of Ruths boys and their wifes.Of course i got it backwards and electrical is already done~ Oh well its whats in the heart that counts not the brain.

12/24/11Well 2011 spinning down and 2012 on the horizon. We have placed an order for over 1/2 ton
of burls from an new to us supplier from central oregon as both of our previous suppliers for bulk have become unable to get out and harvest them. This 1/2ton will start us out in Mid 2012 with lots of new pieces for all to view and stop by and purchase. Many are going to be under 45.00 and a bargan at that price. We hope to get an additional 2 loads + some spot purchases during 2012, Wow!
thinking of 2013 already.Will have an addtional 20 smaller natural edged bowls turned and sitting on the shelf for finishing during the last week of 2011. We have been getting Custs.
who choose their finish from these unfinished ones.

Sorry about the quality of photo these are leaving the shop as fast as i can turn them.
Exculsive and new to the market this year. Pacific N.W. burls with a conductive silcone
tip on the turning. and brass centers allows those with long finger nails and those of us with blunt finger
to work our smart phones and ipads much easier.
Bulk orders for holiday exchanges welcome as long as i can obtain the components.
CAll if your want them before Dec 25th,
