Sounding Bowl Copyrights
Copyrights on Sounding Bowls have been established since 1987.
Worldwide copyrights were established in 1991.
These were renewed in 1994, 1997, 1998, and annually since.
There have been attempts to produce Sounding Bowls by other woodturners. These have not approached the quality of make, looks, sound or results of an original. I take such things seriously. There is the matter of my livelihood, but this is not all. Read the user feedback page and you will gain some idea of the work that the Sounding Bowls are doing.
Parodies risk ruining the good work being done by Sounding Bowls.
If you are a woodworker and would like to make a Sounding Bowl for your own use please contact Tobias (
[email protected]) for a copyright licence. If you would like to make a Sounding Bowl for anyone else to use only a copyright licence will protect you from possible serious consequences. Under certain circumstances such a limited licence may be considered on charitable grounds

Rather an odd stance for a woodturning musician methinks
Don't be scared by this.
If you want to make one do it. I think it is fair enough that you don't make them as a comercial product or to make money. This would be wrong. How ever to make one for fun or for a friend, this would be harmless.
