Hi All, I'm a new member of this group but have been a member of the AAW since it's inception in 1986. I've actually have every issue of the AAW journal since that time.
I'm a retired academic dentist/periodontist who currently lives in the mountains of Colorado at 9000' in the process to moving to the lower altitude of Boulder.
During my academic career, I had the opportunity to travel the world, often bringing home woods native to the area I was visiting. My primary wood turning projects
have involved basic bowl shapes. As an 80 year old with diminished strength, the use of stabilizing tools have allowed me to explore the world of hollow forms.
I often put contrasting wood edges on my turnings. Incidentally if anyone is interested in having a free set of the AAW journals, please let me know - my wife and I are downsizing in
preparation for our upcoming move.

Welcome and nice work

Welcome to the forum. Those are some beautiful pieces.

 

[Jonathan Silwones]

Beautiful work Norman, thank you for sharing, and welcome.

 

[Michael Anderson]

Hi Norm, welcome to the forum from Chattanooga. Thank you for your interesting introduction, and for posting photos of your beautiful bowls. The last one is my favorite, but they are all nice.

if anyone is interested in having a free set of the AAW journals, please let me know

If no one else has expressed interest yet, I would very much like to have that set of journals. I will gladly pay shipping costs to Chattanooga. Sending you a private message.

Hi Michael.
The Journals are all yours. What's your shipping address?
As soon as I get them boxed, I'll get them out to you.

No rush on the shipping, and let me know the cost and payment method. If nothing else, I’ll mail you a check

 

[Tom Gall]

Norm, your journals have found a good home. That will keep Michael busy and off the streets!!!
I also joined the AAW in 1986 (#1312) and have kept all the journals. Oh, and welcome to the forum!

Michael, Do you do Venmo? If not a check will do. I'll let you know how much the shipping was when I drop off the journals at the UPS office.

Michael, Do you do Venmo?

Yes, Venmo works for me. Easy Peasy.

Hahaha, my wife will be relieved that I won’t go fetal any time soon.

Edit: fetal should be feral, but I’ll leave it as it’s kind of a funny typo

Hi Michael, the journals have been shipped - the UPS tracking number is 1Z2W75Y50391131879.
The cost of shipping was $168. Lets worry about getting me the money when you have actually
received the journals.

A question for the group or who ever is in charge with setting the ground rules for participation
in this forum; why do you feel it is necessary to restrict the access to the "marketplace" or the
"off topic" areas of the site until a new member has had 10 posts and has waited 30 days? I'm
a member of a professional dental specialist group with a forum where the discussions are far more
sensitive then anything that is likely to be posted on the AAW site and the only requirement for participation
is to be a member of the association. That being said, one can be banned from further participation if
you break the rules of the site.

pretty routine for a lot of sites—as my wine board does also.
Tries to weed out scam artists who are all too common is my understanding.

Sounds good. I’ll let you know when they make it.

 

[Michael Anderson]

Hi Norm, journals made it to my house safely. You weren’t kidding about having every issue—even the newsletter prior to the first issue is there. How special! The box was HEAVY and well packaged. Thanks for the wonderful opportunity. I’ll be reading through these for a long while. Send me your Venmo information when you have a chance.

 

[Norman Stoller]

Venmo info: @Norman-Stoller
Glad the journals arrived in one piece, enjoy.

 

[Michael Anderson]

Thanks, Norm. Sending over payment now. Cheers!
