When David Fisher isn’t carving bowls or teaching history, you might find him reading, drawing, or out on a long walk in the woods, where he finds inspiration for his carvings and artwork. In addition to bowls, he carves spoons and makes shrink-pots. Fisher, his wife Kristin, and their children Emma and Noah live in Greenville, Pa.
