Tom Gall
TOTW Team
My choice for TOTW for October 14, 2024 is “Ash hollow form” by Alan Weinberg.
This is a lovely and well-turned form from an interesting piece of wood. The defects add a lot of character and interest to the piece.
Although I chose this piece as the TOTW it is really because I wanted to choose Alan as the “Turner of the Week”. Being a relatively new turner, and a very prolific one at that, he has made tremendous improvement in a short period of time. He always welcomes any suggestions and/or critiques of his work and tries to incorporate those on his next piece – a key to his success, in my opinion.
And, I like the fact that he is an active participant in the AAW Forum Discussions – not just a Gallery poster. Keep up the good work, Alan.
