I put the bowl number
on the piece,
25:08.473 --> 25:10.242 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
and then I can later
go back
25:10.342 --> 25:11.977 align:left position:27.5%,start line:65% size:62.5%
and identify
what the woods are.
25:12.077 --> 25:13.879 align:left position:22.5%,start line:65% size:67.5%
I've even had
people call in saying,
25:13.979 --> 25:16.515 align:left position:17.5%,start line:65% size:72.5%
"I have one of your bowls;
what are those woods?"
25:16.615 --> 25:19.518 align:left position:12.5%,start line:65% size:77.5%
I can always tell 'em
'cause I've got the reference.

(narrator)
There are bowls that you have
to flip upside-down
25:23.955 --> 25:26.424 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
to see some of their
hidden beauty.
25:30.595 --> 25:32.597 align:left position:22.5%,start line:65% size:67.5%
There are lidded bowls.
25:35.000 --> 25:38.937 align:left position:20%,start line:65% size:70%
Some appear to have maps
on their sides...
25:39.037 --> 25:42.007 align:left position:22.5%,start line:65% size:67.5%
and all have one thing
in common--
25:42.107 --> 25:44.843 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
each bowl
is relatively small.
25:44.943 --> 25:46.444 align:left position:27.5%,start line:65% size:62.5%
(McPhail)
It's kind of funny.
25:46.545 --> 25:48.179 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
Small bowls
are for two reasons:
25:48.280 --> 25:50.582 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
I'm not able
to do really big work
25:50.682 --> 25:52.450 align:left position:30%,start line:65% size:60%
because I've got
a hip condition,
25:52.551 --> 25:54.519 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
and I can't stand up
at the lathe
25:54.619 --> 25:56.621 align:left position:20%,start line:65% size:70%
and turn great big bowls.
25:58.056 --> 26:01.092 align:left position:22.5%,start line:65% size:67.5%
The other reason--
I do this for a living.
26:01.192 --> 26:04.029 align:left position:20%,start line:65% size:70%
(woman)
It's like throwing a pot
in wood.
26:04.129 --> 26:05.830 align:left position:37.5%,start line:65% size:52.5%
Yes, yes,
very much.
26:05.931 --> 26:07.699 align:left position:22.5%,start line:65% size:67.5%
(McPhail, voiceover)
And it puts the product
26:07.799 --> 26:10.268 align:left position:17.5%,start line:65% size:72.5%
at a price point
where people can afford it.
26:10.368 --> 26:12.137 align:left position:27.5%,start line:65% size:62.5%
(woman)
Oh, I love your
finished products.
26:12.237 --> 26:14.439 align:left position:37.5%,start line:65% size:52.5%
Well,
thank you.
26:14.539 --> 26:17.108 align:left position:20%,start line:65% size:70%
At first, I had a really
hard time selling stuff
26:17.208 --> 26:18.843 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
because when I really
liked one
26:18.944 --> 26:21.546 align:left position:20%,start line:65% size:70%
I didn't want to sell it,
and after a while,
26:21.646 --> 26:24.115 align:left position:25%,start line:65% size:65%
you begin to realize
I can do another one.
