Welcome to Bill's Bowls

Meet the Team

Bill Lepak

Wood guy

All around good guy, mellowed with age. Loves a good long road trip. Almost died and his wife still went to work. smh.

Donna

Event Coordinator

Donna is always up to the task, long roads, gravel roads, flat, hilly, hot, cold, it doesn't matter, if it needs to get there, Donna will get it there in style.

Luna

Luna is a free spirit of marches to her own drummer. She accompanies Zeke sometimes, but mostly is more worried about getting the same amount of sun on both sides as she lounges outside the shop.

Dora

Logistic Specialist

Dora loves a long road trip also. She recently completed a 8100 mile trip to the Arctic Ocean in 9 days.

Security

Zeke

Zeke is a loyal employee, if Bill is out in the shop Zeke can almost always be found patrolling out side, or laying in ambush of a squirrel up to no good. He is the best of boys.

What is Green Turning?

Green turning is when you take whatever wood you are working with and it is turned while it is still Green (wet). I use a technique called once turned, meaning that I turn the pieces to final size and shape then put aside to dry. While drying the pieces move and distort due to internal tension from the moisture leaving the piece and different rates. Once dry I then embellish the piece and then apply the final finish.
