Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Impressive - I'm interested to see the interior of the bowl.
How much work do you need to do before you can put the wood on to a lathe?

Bloody gorgeous Al, the bowl mate not you
There's a guy in Sheffield who does this kind of thing using some highly specialised woods like yew have right here. I have seen work he has done using woods such as Zebrano turned into stunning pieces. I'm not saying he makes a living out of it but he makes some serious money. Again, you may not want it to turn into a chore but that my friend is entirely up to you.
Bloody lovely job and something to certainly be proud of. Real skill.
