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”.

Bulging Bowl Bottom Breakthrough

As a life enrichment experience TWW (the human not the bogus company) decided to do some bowls with the center of the tree in the center of the bowl as Nature intended. He made the bowl below and Mrs. TWW (the woman not the bogus company) loved it.


About two weeks later after proudly displaying the bowl in the great room of Garbin Moraine Manor Mrs TWW (the woman not the bogus company) tearfully complained to TWW (the human not the bogus company) her bowl was wobbling even though the ground was not shaking.


TWW (the human not the company) picked up the bowl and found the bottom was bulging in the center. The wood had warped in an unwanted direction. TWW (the human not the bogus company) took the bowl out to the TWW (the bogus company) workshop and used a belt sander to sand the bottom flat again. The result was a flat-bottomed nonwobbling bowl with a small drain hole in the middle.
