Heirloom salad bowl needs some tlc

We recently received a request from Anne Strang regarding a cherished salad bowl that needs some help.  See the pictures for additional details - the bowl is almost 11 inches across.
 
Here is Anne's request:

Hi. I'm looking for someone to save a wooden salad bowl made from California redwood, probably in the 1930’s. I believe that the damaged surface needs to be sanded down and then refinished??
It's a family heirloom and needs some help. Would anyone in your group like to take this on as a commission?

You can contact Anne at this email address:  annenelson.strang@gmail.com

Maple Burl

Norm Duquette recently contacted our club regarding a turning opportunity.  
 
Here is his message:
  • I'm not a member of your club, but do I have two pieces of maple with burls on them.  I'm hoping to have a creative piece turned by one of your members using one of the burls. I would then give the turner the other maple burl as payment for the turned piece. Is there anyone in your club that may be interested in my proposal?
If you are interested please contact Norm by email:  norm@storm.ca and also let us know by email that the request has been filled (and we'd love to see pictures of the finished work!)
The pieces are approximately 10 years old (3 years outside).
