TACA 2012 Biennial

I was chosen to be in the 2012 TACA Biennial

to be exhibited at The Tennessee State Museum.

These are the two pieces that are to be displayed. 

The exhibition will run from Aug 24 through Oct 21, 2012.

Turning Demo in Cleveland Miss

I will be in Cleveland, Mississippi next month 

doing a demo at the Delta wood turning club.

The focus of the demo will be hollow vessels with a natural edge opening. 

As always I will discuss tool sharpening, and tool handling. 

So if you're interested we will be in Cleveland Miss on Sat July 14,

at the Quality Steel Corp. 2914 Hwy 61.

You can call Don Ballard

(president of the Delta Woodturners) 

at 662-846-5646. 

Call or just come by!

Hope to see you there.
