A little over 3 and a half years ago I was given a old craftsman lathe for Chirstmas. Shortly after that I joined the Carolina Mountain Woodturners and shortly after that the American Association of Woodturners I have been priviledged, by being a member of such great organizations, to have taken classes with the some of the greatest people on earth. Binh Pho who taught me the pain of life can be beautiful art. Malcolm Tibbetts who is one of the most intelligent men I have ever met. Clay Foster who taught me to let my soul shine through my work and many other brillent individuals who showed me I could cut my work in half, use a little epoxy, carve a little, paint a little or just let the beauty of the wood shine through.
The recent events of our Association have sadden me greatly. I have seen great men and women that I admire divided. Thankfully the problem was resolved and the healing process has begun, Unfortunely I still hear people say this one was right and this one was wrong, or worse yet slander someones great name. It is time for a new day. When we forget the past and reach out our hands to our offended brothers and move forward to a greater AAW and lasting friendships.
