My Last bowl..... nearly

[woodfarmer]

last October 31st we were going to visit some friends for teh evening. I decided to turn a bowl for the lady of the house. First one failed due to a hidden serious flaw in the wood, so as second one was made. finished it about 4-5pm. Visited said friends for a good evening returned home ad so to bed. Awoke about 3 am with bad chest pains.. Heart attack. seems quite bad one as I was in hospital for nearly three weeks two of which were in intensive care. Home now, plus two stents, not so sprightly but up and about. Just found the photos of the bowl as wife had used my camera.

I had read that yew could have health effects but I don't think they were that dramatic / quick acting! Presumable the cooking was ok at your friend's house?

Seriously, glad to hear you home and ok / repaired - take it easy,

Simon.

Good looking bowl. I know the feeling hope you are back in the shed soon just take it easy for a week or two

Take care! Take it easy and relax for a while. Glad you're ok (in the end). An eyeopener and a worrying and reflective time but at least you can manage the 'situation' now. Definitely the lesser of two evils.

Thanks guys.... am over the dangerous stage (I hope) now just attrition) to get back as normal as possible.

In a way this post was prompted by the thread elsewhere of "what was the last thing you made"?


merry Christmas and a happy new year to everyone.

Glad you're OK. Keep following Dr's orders and turning out lovely stuff like that bowl.
