Hi everybody. I'm a French retired doctor, I started woodturning 50 years ago, and after long breaks I resumed it intensively after my retirement in 2015. Having admired and learn from many American woodturners, I joined the AAW a year ago. I practice in two associations in France, and I enjoy working with spheres (Chinese balls) femispheres and some 'trembleurs' (trembles ?) I am very interested in texturing, dying and painting. Practicing a little steelworking, I love making my own tools. Other hobbies are painting, starving.
Nice to meet you.
JLH
