This book is for the person who wants the per-
sonal joy and satisfaction of creating a useful item
and a thing of beauty with one s own hands and
heart. Remember, you leave a part of yourself in
everything you "touch" (create) with your hands.
This is a return to the "good old days" and the old
ways, using hand tools and a living piece of wood to
make a bowl.
From the beginning, hewn wooden bowls have
beenvery special to people. Anthropologists tell us
that the "cave man" used to spend his winter months
in his cave, with a stone adze and a chunk of wood,
hewing away to create a bowl -- a useful item to be
sure, but also a creation of beauty.
Wooden bowls and adzes accompanied people
as they crossed the land bridge from Asia to North
America. They were among the few items treasured
enough to be carried along this journey of many
lifetimes.
Until the advent of mechanization, a man would
still spend his winter months in his home, using his
metal adze to hew wooden bowls and treenware
("from a tree"). Each bowl so created has a part of its
creator in it, distinguishing it from the latter-day,
machine-made, production-line bowls.
