From Trees to Bowls

Northwestern Michigan Woodturners Club joined residents on the patio at Cherry Republic Tuesday night.  David Watt, pictured on the right is one of the woodturners and helped organize the event.IMG_1977

The bowls pictured above were donated by woodturners for people to purchase by simply writing a thank you note and making a donation to the “Re-Arbor Glen Arbor” fund. The bowls all came from local trees which fell during the August 2nd storm.
