Huell Howser, who creates TV programs shown on PBS here in California, based on sort of a travel log format, had an interesting program last night.
Interviewed a guy in North Hollywood who turns burls into bowls and other turned items, in his garage workshop, then sells them on Sundays at the farmer's market.
Huell's interest was sparked to do the interview since the guy basically was reclaiming what otherwise would be waste into something of value.
The other guy was a self taught carver who carved half models of steam locomotives out of basically a big board.
Amazing stuff.
This program will be shown again on PBS stations across the state.
