A little too much pounding can knock two stacks of heavy wooden bowls off the top of a cabinet. Who knew old brittle wood can break? Who knew that it would happen to two of them? One can be glued, one has several very small edge pieces that are shattered. I know many old bowls are held together with metal strips and wire. Not sure I will bother with the shattered one.
And who knew that wooden bowls can actually gouge your hardwood floors?
No big deal. This is why I don't care for refined or classic decorating for my home. The lived in beat up look is easier to maintain. When you have primitives, guests do not know if that is the look of the piece or it's in need of a good cleaning.
I just hope he continues with the rest of the jobs. His PTSD is pretty severe and this really upset him. I told him it's no big deal and continued making the zucchini breads. But I'm concerned. I can hear him taking deep breaths and he has gone outside to walk around several times.
Sun is out today. But that doesn't make Fall any easier to accept. And I know that the seasons and the redecorating and the wood knots and the heavy zucchini breads and the sagging jowls and the large derriere don't mean a damn thing in the big picture. Just nuisances along a path that will end soon enough, so enjoy all the scenery along with the rocks. No path is without them.
Have good one!

Hi Marly,
Yes, those old bowls can definitely crack and when they are stacked, it seems to happen with the added weight! I have so many that are repaired and I actually love that look!! Lots of good glue out there to fix them right up and I have several with tin strips, too! Sorry your guy is upset and hoping he can cope! My son has that from two tours in Iraq so I sympathize!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Heart Hugs~

I hope your guy will be OK. I have so much repect for someone who wants to work. Your postive attitude shouldl help him.
That is so sad,,,,when I break or they get broken ( strawberry jar husband hit with the lawn mover) they become "garden art". I have a lot of "garden art:. I would just glue wooden pieces.
Oh my goodness, that is so sad about the bowls!! I do know what you mean about the primitive look. A picture crashed off a wall the other night. A big mark on the wood floor, oh well!
