This was my great- grandmother's wooden bowl. My mother gave it to me some time ago. As a little girl I remember my great-grandma making homemade coleslaw in the bowl. She would take the cabbage cut into 4 pieces and chop it up in the bowl. I even have the chopper which looks like a mini hatchet. I remember it was very sharp and I was fascinated watching her strength for an 80 year old woman swinging and chopping the cabbage. The coleslaw tasted good too! It has crack in the wood and can't hold much more now than warm memories and quilted pillows.
This little old lady also sharpened her chopping blades on a wet stone in the back yard! We called her Wah-Wah and she was an amazing women. Truly an inspiration for me in my life.
