Jim, I have been busy like crazy too! The turning tools are still being ordered and that keeps me from turning some also. But I have some orders for some big utility bowls for wedding gifts, so I have to get them done by August.

I really love the music you guys are making and I have it on my MP3 player in he shop and I can listen to it all day long. I think a live album would be incredible! Hearing the crowd in the background is always great to hear. So good luck to you all and I am sure the live show will be incredible!

Take care my friend,

Jeff

Hello, hope you don't mind me contacting you, but I was interested in the WingedSegBowl1. I want to do something similar with a Tigerwood, or a curly hard maple. I can't really get a single piece of wood the size I want, so I was going to try and basically glue pieces together to get the size I wanted. How did you go about doing your assembly of the wood for the bowl?

Thanks.
