Hi Tim and Sandy,

The Ambrosia bowl arrived today and is absolutely beautiful! I’m so excited to give it to my daughter in law for Christmas. She is an old fashioned, knead by hand, baker of delicious bread but her dough bowl cracked several years ago and has never been replaced.
Thank you for your beautiful handiwork.
Blessings as you celebrate the original Christmas gift!

Good Morning!

I received the bowl yesterday afternoon. It arrived in good condition.

The bowl is beautiful! I am going to give this to my husband for our 20th wedding anniversary. He is the biscuit maker in our family. My mother had a bowl similar to this one but I do not know what happened to it.

Thank you so much. We will use and enjoy your bowl for many years!

From Houston TX
Got a bread bowl as a Christmas gift and I cherish it. Something that can be passed down generations and not loose value. Beautiful and unique!!

From Purcellville VA
I knew it would be a beautiful bowl as this is the second one I have purchased from you.  I was surprised by the heft and beauty of this one. It is just simply gorgeous. I am also glad I finally ordered a spoon.  I appreciate its deep bowl, something often lacking in other hand-carved spoons I have seen.  As always you do not disappoint.  I use my dough bowls frequently, and with the care you suggested, they will be one of the few items I own that my millennial children will hopefully pass down through the generations. Your artisanship is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to purchasing more of your work.

From CA
Received the bowl today – many thanks – it is beautiful!
Also thank you for the wax, really appreciate that!
I bake sourdough at least once a week, so the bowl will be getting regular use.
If I am ever in Virginia I will try to arrange to meet the master maker of my new dough bowl. 

From Henrico VA

A BEAUTY!!!

From South Hamilton, MA
Oh, my, gosh! It is beautiful!!!!!!!! The pictures do not do it justice.

Thank you so much!
Just in case…..here are the pictures of the one I hesitated on…And I want to make sure you know, this bowl is perfect! I absolutely love it. But really thought that once I had it, my interest would be squashed. Instead, i want more! 
I really can’t explain how looking at it makes me so happy. I want to find a place on the counter for it so I can enjoy it every day, even when not making salads!

From Richmond,VA

Hi Tim,
I received my bowls yesterday – I just opened the box this morning with my coffee.  They are both beautiful!  I love the oval bowl with all the beautiful markings and can’t wait to clear off my kitchen table so that it has a place of importance in my kitchen.  The other bowl I will be using for bread – and it looks perfect for that.  Thank you so much for such lovely bowls!  You are truly talented!

From Lexington, SC
Dear Mr. Nester,

 Thank you so much for the quick delivery of bowl #49. It is beautiful!  I have been looking for handmade dough bowls for about a year and a half.  My mother remembers using her mother’s when she was younger however through the years that bowl has disappeared.   I had been monitoring JP Madren’s website hoping to find bowls for sale on there.  I corresponded with him a few weeks ago and he recommended I look at your website and I am so thankful.  I purchased this bowl for my Mother for Christmas and I know she will love it.  Thank you also for the sample of the wood preserver.

Thank you again your work is beautiful.

 God bless you!

From Laurel Fork, VA

I finally got to open my new cherry christmas bowl this morning.  I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my unique present.  I absolutely love it.  Thank you also for the kind words and thoughtful gift of the George’s Club House Wax.  I know by looking at your bowls that you spend much time shaping them into the perfect bowl.  I hope that you and your family have a wonderful holiday.

From: McDonough GA.

Dear Mr Nester

From McDonough, GA

Mr Nester
I received the bowl today WOW!!! thanks again for the special order its perfect have a blessed week

From Dunedin, FL
Tim, the bowl came today.  It’s extraordinary.  As a woodworker I appreciate the finer things in a handmade piece.  The lines aren’t machine cut, you can see where the grain led your chisel, a slight tool chatter where you hit some knarly grain, the different feel between the late and early wood which you only get when a piece is polished with tools, not just sanded.All three of my kids bake bread, they’re already positioning themselves for who gets it in the will.I’ll send some pictures of a loaf in progress.Thank you so much.

From Mims Florida
Tim,
Received the bowl today.  It is beautiful!!! Thank you so much for all your hard work creating this amazing bowl!!  It was a Mother’s Day gift for my mom and she LOVES IT!!

From: Athens, GA
Dear Mr. Nester,
The dough bowl I ordered from you arrived yesterday. It is the butternut bowl with a strip of bark on each side. I want you to know that it is even more beautiful in person than I expected. I will be using it this weekend at a festival recreating the early 1800s in Georgia. I will be demonstrating bread making. Thank you for creating such a thing of beauty!!!

From McDonough GA

Dear Mr. Nester,
I received the cherry dough bowl today “oh my word” I was amazed your craft is one of a kind. I love it! I will cherish it along with my other two 
Thank you so much!
Have a blessed week!

I hope your holidays are filled with love and please know how much you talents are appreciated

From GA

From Va Beach VA

Good Afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Nester,
I was able to pick up the bowl from the post office yesterday – it is even more beautiful than the pictures!  I am so excited to have this beautiful piece of art in my home, and equally excited about using it for years to come!
The bowl was well packaged and arrived quicker than I would have expected.  Thank you for your excellent customer service.
Thank you again

From Ohio

We received the bowl today and like it very much.  I am sending a couple of pictures of where we have placed it.

From Miami FL
The bowl is just beautiful and what I have been desiring for quite some time.

I have regularly checked your site for an exceptionally large bowl. Was hoping to find a cherry or walnut one extra large. However, when I saw bowl #150 I was ecstatic.
This bowl complements the smaller oval bowl I purchased from JP Madren a few years ago as it has a lot of decoration from the worms.
It is so wonderful that you and JP are keeping the craft alive.
I really enjoy making my dough in a dough bowl. The configuration is just perfect.
Got my starter out from the fridge to ready it for some bread baking tomorrow.

From Hanahan, SC

Hi Sandy and Tim,
Just wanted to let you know how surprised we were Sunday morning to have a delivery from our mail carrier…the walnut dough bowl arrived!
My husband was as eager to see it as I was! He opened the box and we were both stunned by the beauty of the dough bowl! It is the most gorgeous item I’ve ever owned.
My husband’s mother was .. from the Dugspur, VA area. All of his close relatives that we used to visit in the area have passed. But I still look at the on-line Carroll News and ran across the wonderful article about Tim. Then made the discovery that Tim would only be taking 5 custom orders
in January so he could replenish his stock. I had planned to try to be one of those 5 customers, but a covid death in Ohio took us from home (and the computer) on January 1st. Last week, when we got back home and settled in, I discovered there were actually 2 live edge dough bowls available on your website.
By the time I finished reading their descriptions, one was already gone! I feel extremely privileged to own such a beautiful, authentic piece representing the best craftsmanship of Carroll County, VA. 
Thank you for this treasure!
Stay safe!

From Wamer Robins , GA

Tim,

Received the bowl today. It’s incredibly beautiful! It will be a family heirloom!

Thank you!

From a Dollywood customer

Dear Mr. Nester,

My son, …, and his wife, ….., purchased the most stunning cherry bowl from you while visiting Dollywood. …. really enjoyed speaking with you and was amazed by all of the work and attention that you put into each dough bowl. It was wonderful for them to have the opportunity to meet you and learn more about the art of bowl making.

My new cherry bowl truly has a special place in my heart. Not only was it a surprise to see my name engraved on the bottom, but I was also given a picture of you carving it. This was such a meaningful gift to me from you, …. and ……. I will treasure it. Thank you so very much! Take care.

From Birmingham AL

Sandy,

I received the bowl last night. No damage in transit. My aunt will love this bowl. My mother passed away in June and while cleaning out the house my aunt wanted me to find my grandmother’s dough bowl. We never found it and she was sad. I know this isn’t grandmother’s dough bowl but it’s handcrafted and I think she will love it.

Thanks

Again, thanks so much for giving of yourself and talent in making the bowl.

From IL
Received my bowl today. What a beauty! It’ll get a lot of use in my kitchen. Thank you!!

From CO

It is beautiful, and as big and solid as I had hoped for.  I was coveting that bowl for a while now.  It was hard to make the final choice from a cherry model and one of the clear maples.  When Santa didn’t come through for me I knew I must reach forth and grasp it before some other woman did- …… 
I know these bowls are works of art, but I actually bought mine for kneading dough in.  I had to search long and hard to find you.  There are any number of people selling fakes and really hammered antiques, but only one other guy who makes a useful piece of equipment……….Why on earth would it it be easier to find the right butter paddle than the right dough bowl?  I know 50 people who bake bread, but I am the only person in a town of 2500 who milks a cow or knows what a butter paddle is and how to use it.  Go figure.  Come to think of it, out of these 50 known bread bakers, how many actually handle their bread without a machine?  Wow. Sometimes it seems like living is a dying art; like carving dough bowls.
Speaking of dying, I can already sense my daughters jockeying for position on this bowl when I go.  Faint rumble of a distant war to come.  That’s probably what I deserve for coveting.  
My sourdough is peeking out of the pot and contemplating a walkabout, so It’s time to bake bread now.  Thank you again for the work of your hands.

Hi Tim, I just wanted you to know how much I LOVE the bowl I purchased from you a couple of years ago. Regardless if I am making Buttermilk Biscuits, or any yeast breads and rolls, Cinnamon Rolls I use it. Especially when I am making yeast breads as they rise beautifully in this bowl. In addition to being functional the bowl looks beautiful sitting out on my kitchen island and will be treasured (and used!) for many years to come!

I just now received my spoon and ladle and absolutely love them.  Thank you so very much.  Will be using them tomorrow night for dinner.  So glad I found out about you.

From Burke VA:

Tim,

The bowl is beautiful! Have you considered doing Burke Centre’s craft fair in the fall. I think you would do well.

I picked up my bowl this morning.  It is BEAUTIFUL!!!!   It is exactly what I expected and cannot wait to use it.  My family and in-laws have not saved or passed down any of their dough bowls. Making pies, biscuits, and bread  has been a special time spent with my daughter (and eventually with my daughter-in-laws).  This bowl will be something I can pass down to her.

 Thank you for hand-crafting such a lovely product.  It is likely that I will be purchasing more….

Thank you for this beautiful bowl!  I am going to treasure it, making bread and biscuits as my grandmother used to.  It is the perfect size and weight as well as skillfully done!
warm regards

Received my maple dough bowl this weekend- it is beautiful. I  bought it as a present for my husband whose grandmother made him biscuits in hers everyday when he was growing up. Unfortunately when she passed, the bowl went to some member of the family. He recalled that part of his life so often- I had to find him one.  He was so pleased when he opened the box- he said it looked just like hers, just a little taller. Thanks for making that possible.

We received the second dough bowl yesterday. They are both so beautiful and my wife loves them. She is already making bread with them. Thanks so much. The craftsmanship is beautiful!!
