Almost half way through this bowl of Ken Byron Ventures Old School Prototype in a medium bend black sandblasted IPSD 2016 Mark Tinsky book keeper 5 with a square shank and a black acrylic saddle stem with a cream colored accent. Have enough left for one more bowl. Hot, humid and sunny day. Maybe the rain will stay away for a change.
