did the rocking horse thing years ago for a shriners auction years ago, it was still there last time I was. It took weeks to build, as almost every thing on it had to be glued up in sections and rockers were bent wood laminations. I did think about making some wood bowls on the lathe, but the bowl blanks I can find local suck and are priced well like 22 ammo. I want to build something you would buy for yourself or to give as a gift rather then something to just donate. I also like stuff to be used, so art pieces are out, never been my thing. This is also something that you have to take home with you in black tie so smaller is better.
