Wood workers

There is an effort in the remote villages of Central America to provide folks with skills with which they can support themselves. Besides subsistance farming, many Ticos have learned to make items that are sold to the tourists. There are looms and quiltshops, candle shops and cheese factories. We met a fellow, whose nickname is 'Leache', who turns out these beautiful wooden bowls. The artisans use only 'scrap' wood from sustainable tree growth forests. Quinn and I both took a turn at the lathe. Rowan wants Quinn to make him a chess set from rosewood....Dad wants a lathe.
