Loads still about, even though I turned lots into door stops by cutting a slice
off the bottom using the Ball-O-Matic 2000.

Subject: Re: [OldTools] I've finally got one bowl. or is it ball?

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that in the same week we are attacking saw
painters but then also bragging about taking antique LV bowls and turning them
into mallets? There is probably a group of crazy people out there who dress in
period clothes and re-enact 18th century lawn bowling using period lignum vitae
bowls, but they can't find any because they have probably all been turned into
mallets.

In all seriousness, "A game of skill, relaxation, sunshine, good ale, and fine
talk." Actually sounds like something I could get into.
