As the wood turns

Hollow form pioneer, world renowned woodturner, tool maker and author David Ellsworth gave an all day demonstration for the inaugural event of our new local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners on Thursday. It was a well spent vacation day for me. I think I learned a thing or two, and I know I bought a tool I will never use.

Yes that is Gary wearing one of the wood hats he turned. He is focusing intently on David's explanation of the Zen of balance and hip movement for shaping a cut rim bowl. At the end of the day, we had a drawing for the three bowls David made during the demonstration and I won this one. ;-)
