My father-in-law asked me to carve him a free-seater bowl, because I treat you like my own son. I hand him an invoice for $420 at his retirement party, 18 people in the room, his face, priceless. But that's not even the worst part. He came by the workshop in August, saw a walnut bowl drying on the rack, said, "Son, just make me one of those for the retirement. You'll knock it out in an afternoon, knock it out in an afternoon, western red cedar, old growth, eight rings per inch, the kind you can't buy at lows, 60 hours of work for a hand-carved bowl. My rate, $420. I tell him I'll have it by the party, then he says one more thing as he climbs into his truck, and quit the TikTok already. My buddies are starting to ask why my daughter married a guy who films himself in a barn. You'll never hit 10,000 followers anyway. 10,000 followers. If you've ever had someone close to you, laugh at your dream. You know what that did to me. So here's the deal. If this video hits 10,000 followers before the retirement party, I'm putting my phone face up on the table in front of every single one of his buddies. No speech, just the number. Drop the follow if you want to be there for it. Back to the spoon. Grenseforce Bruce. Mora 106. Floyd. 164. Hookknife. 600 grit. Squatchmark burned in. Mineral oil and beeswax. Saturday afternoon, 18 people in the room. I hand him the bowl wrapped in linen. He smiles, says, "Thanks, son. This is beautiful. I slide the invoice across." Net 30. He stops smiling when he sees I'm not.
