Like most of your work, it's stunning.

Like the old saying goes :
One mans trash is another's treasure:
For me I want to collect pieces of burl, curl, or spalted wood to cast into other things not just bottle stoppers. I have tried a few with the guys and they just cost to much to buy and can get 3 or 4 pens for the same price. I gave the ones I had to the guys to make their own but can not or I should say not willing to buy more and invest in other things and tell them to buy what they wish.
As of this time I am now teaching vets again. If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board which we have not done yet.. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.
