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”.

Labor shortage has closed TWW Enterprises for a few weeks

Production will begin in earnest when the pine calabash bowls have dried out in September. Until then there will be erratic outbursts of creative work depending on what junk is lying around but not until the firewood is stacked, lawn mower oil changed, van washed, and on and on.....

J/GD order almost ready to deliver

Most have passed TWW's low quality standards but one bowl is held together by SuperGlue on the bottom and future cracking cannot be ruled out. Generally they turned out.

New custom product: The Brabowlini


A Brabowlilni  is a custom-built product designed to hold a woman's special bra (or anyone else who wears bras since TWW Enterprises strives for inclusion). It is a lidded bowl made from genuine 2" x 12" planks taken from coniferous trees and finished with walnut oil. It comes with a laminated product gift insert. It will be a one of a kind product until it is not.

Socialism

As some polls say about half of the youngsters in the country like socialism it is time for TWW Enterprises to clue them in. People who think socialism is good should like TWW's products since they are nearly free like everything is supposed to be under socialism but most of the youngsters do not want anything that they cannot put in a dishwasher so have no interest in TWW Enterprises product line. This is what happens with socialism. The government decides what gets produced and if you do no like it you do without or they send you to a reeducation camp like in Cambodia or mainland China. Under capitalism entrepreneurs decide what to produce and the market decides how much the products are worth. That is why TWW's genuine carbon-sequestrations are free and even then not many people want them at that price. The markets have spoken.

Milestone reached


43 Norway pine bowls drying out and growning blue bacteria and mold. The tree was wet so these bowls will be colorful but hopefully not too much.

Insights into TWW's Philosophy of Social Intercourse

Since TWW is in the business of undercutting the competition by giving away products for free (well maybe there will be an exorbitant delivery charge for some people) people sometimes get confused.

About a dozen years ago he attempted to start writing up his philosophy of  social intercourse by writing an article for Countryside magazine using The Warped Wood Turner as a pen name.  It was TWWT (pronounced "twit")  for short which sounded bad so he changed his pen name to The Warped Woodturner. 

Here is a link to the article. It is about principles he uses on people who come up to visit.

Two natural edge pine bowls



These two bowls complete the main portion of the J/TH order.  There are some small items that may be added to the order later if TWW can overcome some techniquel problems with making smaller enclosed items.
