Hello! I have been woodturning since the fall of 2016. My first experience at the lathe was like trying crack cocaine (not that I know about that, really!) I immediately sought a used lathe. Now, 3 lathes later, I teach woodturning at UNC Asheville's SkillSet, a program developed to help women learn to use power tools. My interest in turning started as a means to create miniature furniture. Recently I was accepted as an Artisan in the International Guild of Miniature Artisans, specializing in 18th and 19th century reproductions in 1 foot to 1 inch scale. I am also serving in my second year as president of Carolina Mountain Woodturners, Asheville, NC, the largest chapter of the AAW. As of December 31, 2022, we had over 385 members. I look forward to learning from this forum! I love looking through the galleries to get ideas, and sometimes I shrink them down in a 1 foot to 1 inch scale!
