In a heartfelt blend of memory and craftsmanship, this segmented bowl holds a story as unique as its design. Crafted from a blank provided by the widow of a dear friend and mentor, the bowl stands as a testament to enduring friendship and the legacy of shared passions. During the creation process, an unexpected discovery—a hole drilled too deep—presented a challenge that turned into a creative opportunity.

Embracing the spirit of innovation, I transformed this oversight into a feature by enlarging the hole and embedding a shiny lucky 2016 penny. This 'Lucky Penny Bowl' is not just a piece of art; it's a symbol of luck, resourcefulness, and the serendipitous moments that define the woodworking journey.

Each curve and segment of this bowl tells a story of collaboration across time, while the lucky penny at its heart invites prosperity and good fortune to its new home. It's a piece that carries more than just aesthetic value; it's imbued with memories, making it a perfect centerpiece for those who cherish stories and the warmth they bring. It measures: 5 5/16” in diameter x 3 3/8” high x 2 1/2” deep.
