Hey Everyone,

I hope your Holiday’s are going well and you have a great new year. I want to thank you all for reading and watching my blog’s over this past year.  This year has been great for the blog,  thousands of visitor’s have come to the blog and lots of them have added the blog to their feeds and that’s great!  I am looking forward to this new year.

 I  just wanted to give you a look at some of our collection’s here at Wampanoag Homesite.  All of our collection’s are reproduction’s and not originals.  I will in this blog show you some bowl’s and spoon’s but we have so much more in our collection’s and I will show you them soon.  We make these bowl’s and spoon’s out of  Burl’s (these are those knot’s you see on trees) .   We make the bowl’s and spoon’s  here at Plimoth Plantation most time’s right in front of the public.   We burn them out with hot coal’s from the fire’s.  

Here’s a bowl made out of a cherry burl it has a effigy of a bear on it.  This bowl is more than 15 year’s old .  This is a serving bowl.
