Bob Stocksdale (1913 – January 6, 2003)[1][2] was an American woodturner, known for his bowls formed from rare and exotic woods. He was raised on his family farm[2] and enjoyed working with tools. His wife of more than 30 years, Kay Sekimachi, stated that, "His grandfather gave him a pocketknife, and he started to whittle. That's how it started."[2]
