Thanks for posting the link, Michael. I had not seen that before.
Loved the videos about Ray Allen and Rude Osolnik. Ray was the turner who inspired my Dad to many years of segment turning.
I had the good fortune of first meeting Rude Osolnik in 1977, right before I got into woodturning. By accident, I came across him at a Renaissance Fair in the hills of Northern Virginia. He was turning walnut candlesticks, and I stood there and talked to him for an hour, not knowing who he really was. At the time, I had very little money in the bank, and I did not buy a set of candlesticks. What a dope!
