Thanx for the welcome, guys.

That last pic that most folks seem to like were for a bowl swap 'over there'. Someone mentioned that Ringmaster bowls were included and then someone else said toothpicks, for some reason. And that's all I remembered about the whole deal. So, I made these up as 'Texas toothpick holders'. The recipient loved them since I included a stash of Texas toothpicks.


I may have to look into that lampshade deal a bit more.

Nathan -  Here's a pic of the mesquite chaos bowl blank. Started as 3/4" cubes glued together in a brick fashion and then cut into rings.


And one of the open-ring bowl in the back -


Hope these help somebody.
