In summer craftsmen busy themselves making wooden tea cups, clay ovens, and tozoms, wooden butter churners, to take on trading trips to Tibet. Pemba of Kangalgaon creates a gokpur, a fine wooden bowl made from the know to a tree. Using an ingenious foot-powdered lathe, he burnishes the bowl by rubbing it with boiled sheepskin sprinkled with ground glass. He will sell the gokpurs in Tibet for Rs 606 each about $ 8.20.
