You Know your are a Woodturner when.....

My father use to say" It's an ill wind that doesn't blow somebody some good". Well 3 years ago a hurricane blew through here and laid a lot of trees down. I got a call from a tree service and went to look. Two enormous Black Cherry trees ( 28"+ in Dia) were laying on the ground. The owner of the house was there and I told him I would make him a bowl from each tree. I was commiserating with him about his loss while trying hard not to dance a jig thinking about all the bowls I was going to make. Does this make me a bad person?
You are not a bad person, you are a woodturner. One bowl would have been enough to cover your guilt. But with A three bowl gift, you are a certified woodturner.
