    Default Vale Dale Nish

    That is indeed a great shame. He produced a magnificent book years ago loaned to me from an old mate, which all new turners should read.
    Sincerely

    Just read it on another forum. I've heard of him but can't quite place him. Sounds like a loss to the turning community. Be nice of there was a little something about him and a link to him. Maybe someone will put him on Wikipedia.

    Woodturner's Wiki - Dale Nish

    There is an award named after him which was awarded at the recent Utah Woodturning Symposium. Will be a great loss to the American Woodturning Community.
