He's 62, and he lives in Long Lake. His "thing" is bowls. Wooden bowls, to be specific. Carved on a lathe, sanded a million times, and hand-oiled with beeswax and mineral oil.

Step into Blahnik’s shop and a sea of bowls awaits — dark, light, big and small. Near the back is a pile of wood that will be used to make more bowls.
