In a good way! :D I don't know how these sort of things work behind the scenes, but my recent posting of the Red maple calabash bowl somehow got picked for the AAW Turning of the Week. It also got cover honors over on WoW, so I am most humbled by the recognition. If anyone here had anything to do with this, just let me say thank you......again I don't know how these things happen, but I do feel humbled by this honor. :)
 
It's quite an accomplishment to be selected, especially for a bowl rather than an artsy piece. As Al said, you nailed a classic shape with beautiful wood. Way to go!
