| Every time I go to the lathe, I learn something new. Every time I meet a new turner, I learn something new. Over the years, I have met many excellent turners. These are just a few of them. Visit their sites and see what amazing things can be done with wood. |

The American Association of Woodturners is the national organization dedicated to the advancement of woodturning as an art form, as a craft, as something that is just fun to do. Membership has a variety of benefits. I recommend membership very highly.

Woodturning is a great shared activity! If you haven't already joined one, find an AAW associated club in your area. In the Portland, Oregon area, I can recommend these clubs.

Like most woodworkers, I am a tool junkie. Of course I have my favorite tools. Too many favorites, I am told. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, I don’t gamble. What am I going to give up when things get tough?
My absolute favorites:

D-Way Tools www.d-waytools.com
