I last wrote about how long I had been on here but complained that now I was being limited on what and where I could post, after being a member of AAW for 16 years, so maybe its time to reintroduce myself
I first fell in love with wood turning in high school in Ohio, then life got in the way, not having enough time to play. Returning to woodturning hot and heavy in 2000, and has been working the wood lathe since. In 2003 I had the opportunity to work as a production wood turner on the Oregon Coast, honing skills daily.
In 2007 I met a local group of woodturners and learned of AAW, best thing I ever did was join AAW and go to Portland 2007, I took a few of my offset turnings to show Barbra Dill, and met, had dinner with Trent Bosh, and over the years have paid attention to him and looked up to his works. Its so great to see the kids grow up!
A year or 2 later I met Graeme Priddle, and have tried to keep in touch with him over the years asking questions and continuing to learn
I now focus on one-of-a-kind pieces. Traveling over the years to multiple National Wood Turning Symposiums has also helped hone techniques and inspire, as I continue to learn, grow and develop, creating lots of sawdust.
