A little trust—a demijohn—
Can keep the soul alive—— Emily Dickinson, from Poem 159 (1896)
Looking back, I was surprised at how long it had been since I’d carved a lettered bowl like this. Felt great to make another. This one was carved from a silver maple tree that had been visited by ambrosia beetles, leaving the telltale streaks of color in the wood.
I revisited Emily Dickinson for the poem excerpt. Here are a few more photos:

Thanks. I appreciate the compliment and the simile. Remember, though, that some meals get thrown away in the kitchen and are never seen in the dining area!
