About the Turner

Woodturning

I started turning in 1998. Over the years, I was able to take some hands-on wood turning classes with some great instructors:

• Beth Ireland
• David Ellsworth
• JoHannes Michelsen
• Lyle Jamieson
• Malcolm Tibbetts

Community

I am a member of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) and over the years, I've been a member of some of their local chapters close to my homes.

• Central New England Woodturners (CNEW)
• Association of Revolutionary Woodturners (ART)
• Cape Cod Woodturners (CCW)
• Sarasota Woodturners

I'm also a member of a national chapter:

• Segmented Woodturners

 I've been lucky to attend several regional  symposiums:

• Totally Turning - Albany, NY
• New England Symposium - Pinkerton Academy, Derry NH
• New England Symposium - Middleton, CT.
• Florida Symposium, Eustis, FL.

And AAW national symposiums:

• 2002 - Providence, RI
• 2004 - Orlando, FL
• 2007 - Portland, OR
• 2008 - Richmond, VA
• 2008 - First Segmented Symposium - Mark Adams School of Woodworking
• 2009 - Albuquerque, NM
• 2010 - Hartford, CT
• 2011 - Minneapolis, MN
• 2015 - Pittsburgh, PA
• 2016 - Atlanta, GA

After I became competent on the lathe, I wanted to return the learnings to people with the same interest. Over the years, I've conducted over 100 classes and demonstrations at both my local woodturning club on Cape Cod and at other turning clubs including our new home in Sarasota Florida.

Here is a list of some of those classes and demonstartions
