Mark Supik, a Baltimore woodturner, and his woodturning students have challenged themselves to turning 100 bowls out of one fallen pine tree. The project began in March of 2010. Follow the story of each bowl as it goes from log to finished bowl, or better still, come learn bowl turning and help us reach our 100 bowl goal!

One Tree .....
In March of 2010, Mark Supik, brother Ed and nephew Joe felled a storm damaged pine tree that was unstable and too close to Ed’s house in hickory, Maryland. They brought the pieces to Mark’s Baltimore City shop with a plan to use the wood for turning bowls. Some of the bowls Mark plans to turn himself and some will be turned by students in his workshops. Expecting that there was enough wood to create 100 bowls, we decided to document each bowl as it was turned. We’d like to follow the story of each bowl after it leaves the lathe and reaches it’s new home.
