My name is William Sowell, owner of Will's Woodworks. As a law enforcement officer, I use woodworking to relax and escape the demands of a stressful occupation and it has become my passion. As you look at my work, just remember one thing, Mother Nature is the artist, I'm just the one God blessed with the ability and desire to work with wood. I enjoy working with wood and exposing the beauty that is beneath the bark and sharing that beauty with others. Also, I invite you to watch this short video of how and why I got into woodworking youtu.be/vzSyXjAwTz0 This video was produced by the television show, Texas Country Reporter. Check out my facebook page as well. And finally, if you have any questions or you are interested in purchasing one of the bowls please call, text or email me and I will be glad to work with you on finding that perfect bowl.
