what planet are YOU on?

Going from my weekend in the rain on a tugboat back to my brother's bowls, the ostensible reason for this site, I call this one "Saturn," for its [vaguely gnawed-on] planetoid aspect. It's the one that sold to one of his treework customers the night of the show, which was nice for Hal.

He's contemplating what he can make right now, which is hard if you're Hal. Georgi Donskoj had suggested that he needed things in different price ranges (ie, not everyone is in the market for a chain sawed Windsor chair--more in the $100-200 range, he suggested). Little beautiful bowls with nearly closed tops? Sounds strange, but I have learned from Hal to move past my idea of conventional beauty. YES, Hal, please just make them.
