Beatuiful work and welcome Richard!

Welcome aboard Richard. Enjoyed my visit to your Web site and the stunning objects you have turned. Several jumped off the page, examples of careful design and execution; thanks for sharing.

Welcome to the AAW and to the Forum Richard!

Good work indeed! Thanks for sharing your web site - with your permission, I'll add it to my 'Woodturning Links' web page...(see below)... would that be OK with you?

If you're heading over to a future AAW Symposium, might I ask now that a bottle or two of some fabulous Scottish ale accompany you on the trip over? - I'd be happy to reimburse for costs just to have some authentic local nectar from your part of the world! Fantastic beer!

Glad to have you with us!!

Cheers!

Welcome, Richard

We all welcome you to our AAW site, Richard. I think your work show on that wonderful web page is great stuff! Very beautiful work and that is what helps all of us improve our own turnings. Thanks for joining us. Philip
 
Welcome Richard.

Welcome to the AAW Forum Richard! I perused your web site and found awe inspiring turned and sculptured pieces there I might add. Some of us (me), might have a trying time to achieve work of your caliber. I envy you living in the Scottish country side as you do. Welcome, we need people like you in our fold to have something more to shoot for.
