Well the Olive wood bowl I made I gave away Saturday night to our priest. Father Norberts eye's well up and a tear ran down his cheek. He said no one had ever gave him anything so precious in his whole life of 72 yrs. Of course then the LOML started with the tears. Anyway kinda made me feel good. I told him it was his and he was to take it with him if he ever moved on. He told me that would be the first thing packed. This is the bowl below.

Wonderful gesture Bernie! I plan on giving my priest a pen this week if I like his sermon.

So...you made a priest cry...LOL! I always thought it was supposed to be the other way around...

Good deal, Bernie. 'Glad it was well-received.

Awsome job Bernie, Men of the cloth rarely get the recognition they deserve. I'm sure he was deeply touched.
