Does anyone remember an article some years back in American Woodturner about a female Israeli artist using coffee grounds and egg shells to make and turn bowls? I have searched and can't find the issue or article.
 
Esther Bar, October 2019.

Google is better than the AAW search but can still get mixed results. With below search I was able to find it but with some slightly different terms the article didn't show up.

Just for fun, here's a bowl in progress someone I knew made by adding a variety of egg shell pieces to wood. Beautiful!

I think he did drink some coffee that day. :)

I also met a guy who made Christmas Ornaments by attaching wooden pieces to hollow egg shells.
