Hello,

I am a woodturner eastern France.
I turn wood for 8 years on a Belgian lathe "wivamac db 800".
I come here to bring a little ... and watch a lot.
I also love making pens in all materials and all types.

cheers
 
Very glad to have you. there are some really great French turners but we don't see them much over here. Would love to learn more about the turning culture in France.
 
Kruger, welcome

John has a great point about the innovative French turners.
Christophe Nancey will be at the 2014 AAW symposium in Phoenix, Az
AAW member Jacques Vesery has been instrumental in introducing prominent French turners to us.
I never been to France unless the Paris Airport counts, but I have seen Jaques photos on several occasions.
A beautiful country with great turners.

Al
