Jim, thank you so much for creating this beautiful bowl for the Canadian Occupation Therapy Foundation. The proceeds of the Auction bowl will go directly to fund Occupational Therapy and Science Research. It’s been a few years now that you have been doing this for us. We rely on people like you and it’s truly appreciated. Thank you my friend.

This is not the first time I have watched this particular video. I love green and the gold with it, is stunning. I so enjoy watching the end product taking shape. One of my uncles did wood-turning and also custom made furniture. I am now 75 years old and I still vividly remember his workshop with the wood and tools, and the wonderful smell of the wood and the shavings on the floor. It was bliss for me in my childhood years.
