​As The Yarn Bowl Turns.

Committing Reclaimed Wood Back To The Earth.

Rough turning a Jumbo Yarn Bowls produce a massive quantities wood shavings. As a result reclaiming and recommitting the wood, has become a very large part of Bob’s natural work process.

Every time a Jumbo bowl is designed and rough turned, it produces a 30 gallon (plus) yard bag packed full of beautiful wood shavings. Storing and transferring dozens of bags to the landfill on a weekly basis seemed wasteful, and our community gardens had their fill. When Bob found out his boxing Trainer/Master Gardening buddy; Luis Camacho needed an endless supply of mulch for his large tropical gardens at home, the problem was solved. 
​

The best thing is that Bob’s commitment to turning the shavings back to the earth isn’t only the green way; but a way for him to stay healthy as well. As long as he’s turning, Bob has to continue his rigorous boxing sessions twice a week so Luis can recycle them back to mother nature. Heck of a good thing.
