Every Year at the State Fair artisans bring their specialty goods to the Heritage Circle. One of those artists is JP Madren. He hand carves and sells his wooden dough bowls while teaching the audience how he started making them for his wife and Mother as gifts. Jeff Smith caught up with Mr. Madren and learns his story as they make a bowl from a tree.

Received two bowls today from Mr Madren one that I saw at his online store and the other that I asked for after speaking with him on the phone. His craftsmanship is simply amazing and his word is his bond. He shipped the bowls when he said he would and he took as much care packing them as he did making them.

I can still see my grandma makin biscuits in her dough bowl. The way her hands worked the dough. Funny the things that stick in a young mind.

Not only is there nothing wrong with doing things yourself, it is a measure of a man (or woman) that raise a person above the run of the mill hoard of humans.

Very nice, I think we may be related, same way of carving and the way we let time take care of itself while we're carving away on a project. When I get a chisel in one hand and mallet in the other, and start in, time seems to slow way down on the inside, while the hours fly by on the outside. Oh, and we have some pretty nice Trout water here in southeastern Minnesota, come on up and be my guest !
