Greg, your work is amazing. I am always jealous of people who can create such incredible pieces of art, a talent that I was never given.

Once in high school, I took woodworking (because that's what all us delinquents did) and I could barely make a screwdriver handle, while another kid made a pool table! The only tools I'm good with are eating utensils and a hockey stick. (Not at the same time of course!)

Thanks for sharing your work and I wish you much success!

I want to thank everyone for your kind words about my bowls. I’m amazed each and every time I turn one. They seem to take on their own personality as they emerge from the block of wood. A lot of times they aren’t even what I had in mind when I started. Someone asked if I sell them (I think it was Michael). Yes, I try to. They range from $60 - $250 and up. It just depends on how intricate the design is and size. Hardwood isn’t cheep these days. As for a favorite wood, I like them all. Each species has a unique grain pattern and qualities that make them special. The trick is finding a combination that works well together. I just feel lucky to be able to do this. I know one day I won’t be able to do it. Until then…..
However, this isn’t about me. It’s about all the other skilled and talented people out there with PD. Like myself, many people have turned to art in one form or another to help themselves deal with this disease. Many would like to market their work but find trying to go to the art shows and craft fairs just too demanding on them. If they are like me, I don’t function too well until at least 10:00 am by then most of these events are half over.
Hopefully this art show/auction will raise some good money for research and get some of these great artists recognized.
