A few weeks ago I took some of my lidded bowls and boxes to work to see if any of the staff wanted to buy any for Xmas presents. One person asked (of a 6" diam x 5" deep spalted beech bowl) 'How long did it take to make this?', so I told her that it was about an hour, from start to finish, to which she replied, something like,.....'Is that all, I thought that you be days working on that!' She then asked if I carved it all with chisels, so I briefly explained how the lathe turns at high speed and you offer the 'chisels' up to it to shape the wood. 'That's cheating!' she said, '...that's not proper carving'.
Arghhhhhhh....Philistine!

Hi Les, you've made my day. I burst out laughing when I read your post. Did you manage to keep a straight face when she said that? ::)

Les Symonds:
Hi Paul...good to hear from you, and yes, I kept a straight face....but oh how I wish i could have thought of a cutting remark to slap her down to size with, but quick-wittiness is not one of my attributes!
