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”.

novel way to limit the spread of the virus

TWW uses a respirator while working on the lathe that fits in his mouth and has tubes going to filters at the back of the neck.  The nose is open but tissue can be used to keep dust from going into the nostrils. A perfect solution for going to the store. It just looks a bit funny.

TWW management wants to thank Nelson Lumber (of Bass Lake) for reopening the supply channels so production can resume.
