Turning of the Week for March 11, 2024

[Emiliano Achaval]

Since the day this great piece was posted, I knew it was destined to be a TOTW. Commitment and dedication are two words that came to mind when I saw it for the first time. I'm just glad that the other members of the TOTW team left it for me.
This week's honor goes to @Bradner Bond and his work; "Power Carved Figured Walnut Bowl" Congratulations Bradner!
There is nothing better than when artwork motivates you. It's been on my bucket list to do a giant clam shell. Like the natural shells used as a sink at the old hotel Coco Palms, where Elvis shot the Hawaiian Wedding scene. I have ideas floating around my head, thanks Bradner!

Someone should remember to put the TOTW in the banner/headline on the main forum page, as well. This piece deserves all the attention that will bring.

Thank you so much for this honor! It's awesome to be counted in such fine company. This has been a goal of mine for a long time, and to see it realized today was fantastic!
