Well I've been a member of AAW for a number of years now and figured I should start utilizing this great tool here in the forums. I began turning back in 2013 when I ran across the local woodturning club and got to turn a pen. From then on I was sucked into the "vortex". For the last couple of years I began recording many of my projects and posting videos on YouTube. I enjoy turning just about anything as long as there's variety. I'll leave you with probably my favorite piece I've turned so far which is a piece of Madrone Burl that I turned thin and let warp which gave this incredible look. The picture doesn't do it justice as it's one of those pieces you've got to feel.
