I was asked to make some urns and traveling vessels by the daughters of my dear sister-in-law Peggy. We had a wonderful celebration of her life in Cambridge, where she had lived much of her life. 🥰 https://www.instagram.com/p/CnewpJgrgVD/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here’s a curly maple bowl, 14.5”x 6”. Had no idea when I started to finish it that it was so pretty. The roughed out blank was dark and plain. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZLUfv8LdQ2/?utm_medium=tumblr
