This video is also posted to YouTube, Vimeo, and FaceBook. – Best Right Here! After I turned a miniature vase from tagua a year ago, a viewer, Terry, gave me a bag of giant tagua nuts at last year’s Utah Woodturning Symposium. I did not know tagua nuts could be this big. I wish I […]

This bowl has been in process for seven months – more if you count time from harvest to when I started roughing the wood.
