AAW Symposium in Loveland, CO

Glad to hear a few of you will be there. I'm going to be helping at the North Woods Figuted Wood booth so stop by and introduce yourselves. I've been hanging around here for a long time but haven't posted because I have been building furniture and haven't been turning hardly anything for a few years. My daughter just turned 14 and is looking for a way to earn some money for a big school trip so I suggested turning some pens and small bowls so I unboxed some tools (we moved a while back) and ordered some pen kits and we're ready to start. I'm looking forward to doing some more turning because I miss throwing a blank on and get lost in time while making something beautiful.
