The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Spalted Red Pine Popcorn Bowl

This is a great bowl for freeloaders disguised as guests. If you find yourself with one of these (as mentioned in the article at the very start of this blog) you can plug in the gasoline generator outside their bedroom window and run it at night. But there are occasions when that idea won't fly so then this popcorn bowl is a good tool to use. You merely serve popcorn in the bowl to your guests and wait until they notice (you may have to help them notice) the little black flecks or stains on the popcorn. When they ask what it is from you tell them about how the bacteria and fungi grow in the wood and change the colors to create the beautiful colors in the bowl. When they realize they are eating bacteria and fungi there is a good chance they will decide it is time to go home.
