Carved Wood Bowls

Over my 22 years of carving I have made many different bowls and platters. I'm often asked what is my favorite shaped bowl. It would have to
be the ones that I give as gifts to family and friends. These bowls are made with the same quality as the ones that I sell, however it is the
feeling that I receive from giving them that makes those bowls and platters special. Over the years I have made Heart shaped bowls for Mom,
sisters and wife. These are special reminders to them of how much they mean to me. The men and friends of my life receive small handmade
bowls for change or decorative art bowls which they use as coffee table accessories. I wish I had taken pictures of all the decorative art
bowls I have sold or given away over time. Even though I do not have visual pictures of these bowls, I have mental images like of a leaf
shaped bowl, or a large carved platter or unique shaped fruit bowl. I enjoy carving many different things, but I always get a great sense of joy
creating just the right piece for someone. As with a good friend who requested a dough bowl. She has put that bowl on her kitchen table and
says that it reminds her of me and that it will be treasured always.

Artists note: I have been a woodcarver for 20 years and running my own business for 8 years. I started out working for Kai Dawley on
Martha's Vineyard Island. Then taking over his business on the Island until moving to Virginia, where I have established my own Woodcarving
Business. I specialize in Wooden Bowls, Hand Carved House and Business Signs and Carved Sculptures, with an interest in whales.
