Now I admit there is not anything particularly spectacular about this bowl. It is what I call a "stock" bowl that I turn a bunch of. Yesterday I was doing several rough outs of similar bowls to this one, and posted one online. It's 10 1/2" in diameter, 2 3/4" high, and 2" deep. Has the usual finish of being sealed with walnut oil and several coats of walnut oil/shellac mixture. Several of my off line customers saw it and was inquiring about it and then one of my repeat online customers got interested in it. Well, one of off line customers got it. The online customer decided she wanted 8 of them but just a bit smaller. So, I sold the posted bowl in about 2 hours and got a special order for 8 more bowls. That does not happen everyday, for sure. And today I kinda wore myself and a friend out moving pecan logs to my log yard. Probably in the neighborhood of 3 tons of it.
