Sure. The postage, depending on which one you pick, will be between $75 and $200.

I've shipped several to the UK. I don't remember the price but I do remember it was quite expensive. Something on the order of $60 and the cost of postage from the US went up quite a bit recently.

Please do not continue any discussion of buying my bowls in the forum. If you are interested, go to my bowl site and work from there:

When my back isn't bothering me, I think about watching a strongman competition but it occurs to me how strenuous it would be and I go read a good book instead :smile:

buildings are quite fun to draw.

I only drew one building ever. Now that was an abomination. I'm much more suited to doodle people, I think.

A very subjective question, but I've always liked this picture

That is a wonderful picture. I enjoy drawing too, but it is usually satire and sometimes distasteful for a place like PF. Just recently I drew a picture of my friend and I fighting off giant roaches in the basement of our workplace. He had dual Uzi's and I had a flamethrower. These were big roaches.

Oh tell me about it. It can be really tough watching people lift weights and do work. You better get yourself a glass of lemonade too so you don't get dehydrated.

These roaches were meaner and dirtier. It was in regards to a comment our boss made about how grimy our new building has become. We imagined walking downstairs to get some paperwork and being mauled to death by giant insects and other creatures.

Phind's website is more impressive, but what can I say? I'm a student who lacks knowledge in a lot of things . . .
