    A well deserved honor to a thorough gentleman.

    We have met briefly on a few occasions and it is
    great to see your efforts have been recognized.

    Default Very Remiss Of Me.

    Hi to All Woodturners,
    On Announcing that VIC WOOD had received an OAM on Australia Day Honors List, I was very Remiss that I had not mentioned His Wife Bev.

    As most of us know, there is A Good Lady behind Every Good Man.

    Bev is most certainly one of these Ladies.

    My Apologies go out to Bev.
    Regards,
    issatree.

    Vic Wood, a very humble person indeed. The award is very deserving for such an accomplished wood turner and teacher in the art and craft of wood turning.

    Regards,
    Joevan.
