How the Blind Woodsman Crafts Wooden Works of Art

John Furniss is a master craftsman who turns gorgeous wooden bowls on his lathe. The only thing that separates him from other fine woodworkers? He's blind.

The skilled craftsman shows us how, in his capable hands, a chunk of wood is transformed into a work of art.
