I had a repeat client, a real estate agent, stopped by the shop on Sunday. I showed her a lot of rough turned bowls. I was sort of bringing down the ones that I like. I'm up on a ladder; she's videoing me and sending the videos to the President of the Hawaiian Historical Society. They are looking for a gift to the soon to retire VP. Showed her about 15 bowls, all sizes, and shapes. She then points to one on the very top shelf. One so ugly and with so much torn grain, Koa, that I have never felt like finishing it. I bring it down; I see the date, April 2013. Some nice curly and crazy grain. She tells me this one is calling her, a very "masculine" shape, her words, not mine. The other lady also says she loves it. I can't remember what I was trying to do initially, looked like a flower pot. I was able to salvage it a bit; I gave it a round bottom. Koa is nice. One reason I love the 40/40, I can cut Koa like I never could before; it is genuinely day and night compared to my Ellsworth gouge. What is ugly to us, picky turners is beautiful to others. Another returned client finished his quarantine and came to pick up his Cook pine bowl. 2 excellent sales in 2 days; I'm a happy camper. Aloha
