The American Association of Woodturners Joins The Woodworking Channel Family
If you’re a turner I have some good news for you. The Woodworking Channel has reached an agreement with The American Association of Woodturners (AAW) to broadcast footage and demonstrations from their past symposiums.
A little history on The AAW –
The AAW is the largest organization in the world dedicated to the advancement of woodturning. The AAW is comprised of 252 local chapters and boasts more than 12,000 members. The AAW’s mission is to provide education, information, and organization to those interested in woodturning--a branch of woodworking centered on using the lathe to shape wood. The results range from the familiar to the profound: everything from decorative and functional bowls, boxes, and vessels to furniture and architectural spindles, toys, tools, musical instruments, even sculptural art. Members of the AAW include professionals, amateurs, gallery owners, collectors, and wood and tool suppliers.
First to air will be the 2005 symposium that took place in Overland Park, Kansas. Highlights from this event will include video of master techniques from David Lancaster, Laurent Guillot, Anthony Harris, Bob Hawks, Michael Werner, Yoshinobu Kakizawa, Andre Martel, Phil Irons, Robert Rosand.
