I just came in from the mailbox with my Summer edition of American Woodturner which arrived in pristine condition by the way.
I was admiring the beautiful piece on the cover by Giles Gilson when I noticed something wrong. Where is the AAW logo? You know the little round drawing of a wood curl being peeled off by a gouge; the very essence of our hobby.
At first I thought I had lost my mind and went and checked the Spring edition and lo and behold it was missing on the cover there also. Have I completely lost my mind I asked myself. I pulled out the Winter 2008 edition and there it was. And it was on the cover of all the other issues in my collection.
So for some unknown reason the last two issues of the magazine representing woodturning which is a craft which involves peeling curly wood chips off spinning pieces of wood with a steel chisel no longer is using the logo that looks just like that to represent the activity.
What the heck? Why in the world? Can somebody explain? Has the logo fallen out of favor? Did I miss something? Do I have to throw out my AAW turning smock, pin and T-shirt because they bear the AAW logo?
How odd.....
