Prometheus (an ID for a person who posts on a wood turner’s group in Google) said recently "A flawed work has a soul, and contains in every curve and plane a reflection of the dedication and work of the person who created it. It is the union of all those things which make us human crystallized, and reconnects us to the hundreds of thousands of years in which our species has struggled with mind, heart, and hands to bring us to our present level of wealth and leisure. The flaw is history set in material form - displaying a snapshot of the temporary limitations of,
and even more importantly, the promise of an ever-changing evolving mind. "
TWW used to say if you find a design error make it a product feature. Prometheus is much wiser. TWW gave a city friend an oak bowl this weekend with a hole in the bottom. Was it a design or production error or a reflection of the dedication and work of the person who created the holey bowl? As long as she does not put soup in the bowl she can wonder about the soul of a flawed work.

HOW TO ORDER A BOWL
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”.
