Beyond Wood - repository of videos

[Michael Anderson]

This website has a nice collection of interviews from Bernard Blain with a variety of well-known turners, some living and some deceased. It's sort of a who's who of the craft. The videos vary in length, and all that I have watched so far are interesting.

Thanks Michael, well worth watching.

This brought back a lot of memories seeing Ray Leier moderating—he got me started collecting and guided me decades ago. I loved going to Del Mano Gallery. He is missed.

Man, I would have loved to check out Del Mano in the day. Do you have the book “500 Wood Bowls”? It was juried by Ray and Jan from Del Mano. It was/is a great source of inspiration.

Sweet! I’ll borrow yours and you can borrow mine. but seriously, I covet mine. I’ve heard of someone taking one to a symposium and getting folks to sign their pages. Sort of love that idea.

Great link to the videos! Thank you Michael.
The book is such a great reference for sure. Lovely bowl on page 242 Bob! I only wish my copy of the book wasn't coming apart at the spine.

Thanks for posting the link, Michael. I had not seen that before.

Loved the videos about Ray Allen and Rude Osolnik. Ray was the turner who inspired my Dad to many years of segment turning.

I had the good fortune of first meeting Rude Osolnik in 1977, right before I got into woodturning. By accident, I came across him at a Renaissance Fair in the hills of Northern Virginia. He was turning walnut candlesticks, and I stood there and talked to him for an hour, not knowing who he really was. At the time, I had very little money in the bank, and I did not buy a set of candlesticks. What a dope!
