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”.

Lodgepole pine begging bowl

The latest innovation on GM is what we call Active Freeloading. Instead of passively waiting for visitors to contribute to the cause we decided to go to where the donors are found by sitting on a bench in front of the candy store in a nearby town with a begging bowl and look sadly at the rich people from the city walking by with their candy and hope they put candy or quarters into our begging bowl. So far there have been no donations. It must be a sign of the state of the economy if the rich people are not being generous.

The bowl is 11" by 3 1/2" lodgepole pine finished with walnut oil.
