What makes someone want to make a bowl of the ugliest material he can find? Chick does and he continually looks for that type of material. He loves to make something pretty and unusual out of something ugly and discarded. Chick has always liked sculptures, but all you can do with a sculpture is look at it. So, as he makes his bowls, little sculptures always in the back of his mind. His bowl sculptures can be used as utilitarian items around the house. He makes one of a kind bowls, letting the character in the wood define the item. Chick enjoys both metal and wood. He uses old wood with character and old rusty metal to give his bowls their unique look.
