Thread: Inspiration

Hi Steve,
Do tell, what is AAW, does that mean The American Assoc. of Woodturners & where was this Event held.
Do you happen to know the Turners Names who made those Excellent Pieces.
There seemed to be a lot of entries, & that was in 2010.

This years symposium was held June 23-26, 2011 at Saint Paul, Minnesota

there doesn't seem to be a link to the photo gallery yet

and issatree

you are correct it is the American Assoc. of Woodturners & 2010 was held Hartford, CT: 24th Annual AAW Symposium at the Connecticut Convention Center.

Here's a link to their symposia web page.

I was under the impression that was the 2011 instant gallery photos.

It came from Steve Worcester's site.

The 2010 instant gallery is on the AAW site here,

I'd love to go to the symposium one year, it'll have to wait until I win lotto or a rich relative dies I guess.

Something to think about:

While Australia has some really talented turners, are we falling behind the standard of the U.S.?

Could the standard be raised, and woodturning be better promoted by a national association in this country?

I have some opinions but I'd like to hear what others think.

He also posted many individual pictures here: jschnell1203's Photostream

No names listed IIRC.

I thought (wrong, of course) I deleted the older link, but now you have both.

Wow, those are some of the most amazing pieces I have EVER seen. I'm not a big fan of segmented turning but that piece on the first page top right - unbelievable!
It's humbling to look at all of those wonderful works of art.
