A cheap shot? Yep!
Something to get upset over? No!
Admonishment deserved? Uh huh!
Question I have is WHO is so damn sure of the age of that hunk of wood?:D
BTW Is the business actually 'run' by Mennonites? AIUI it primarily 'serves' the local Mennonite community.
Not that it really matters!:)
My first bowl...

Most of the Mennonites I know are better educated and informed than any other single group of people. Again I have no desire to insult you yet would prefer you use a bit of care in whom or how you represent others. Jim
Oh...damn...
I was not intending to insult or cast ill on ANY religion or belief, rather to point out an inconsistancy.
Sorry.
Now I feel bad...

Hartville Hardware is owned and operated by two brothers who are Mennonite, along with Hartville Kitchen and Hartville Flea Market.
The "Hardware" is 285,000 square feet of...everything you can think of.

Thank you for clarifying that the Hartville owners clearly are doing many things right and must be of at least average intelligence. I wonder how many of those participating in this forum can claim such a high level of accomplishment? Certainly I would never be able to you. Thank you for your clarification and I apologize for making you feel bad. Jim

Now that the apologies are 'past', what about the alleged age of that wood? Who really knows?
Unless the 'clerk' was one of the owners or himself a Mennonite he would have neither understanding of yer comment nor any reason to react to it.
If he be still damp betw...behind the ears he would not react to anything not directly concerned with 'clerking'(ringing it up and handling money and maybe bagging it).
Yes I am generalizing here lest anyone having a teenager get riled over me casting a broad net over them folks with damp ears. If'n der shoe fits. . . . If not disregard it.
Nothing 'personal' implied nor intended. Ever!(unless in jest):D

Martin,
Very nice, beautiful color and looks substantial enough to bear daily use without being clunky.
My first bowl is still on the lathe, all I need to do is hollow it out.
Cheers,
