    Giant Gloat

    At this time last week I was very uneasy as I was preparing to meet with the founders of a new gallery. Well the uneasy securedownload.jpgfeeling was soon replaced with extreme excitement, as two of my bowls were chosen to be represented at the gallery.
    I now can say that I am a womesquite log 046-1.jpgodturner & artist. The two that were chosen are a cherry burl & a big leaf maple burl.
    Thanks for any comments, Sammesquite log 047.jpg
    SAM

    Congrats steve. beautiful wood. nice work.
    Grandpa always told me. "A good woodworker is not one that makes no mistakes. A good woodworker is one who knows how to cover up his mistakes."

    Easy to see why these were chosen. Very nice. I especially like the BLM burl piece-very classy.

    Very cool, Sam! I hope the gallery leads to sales which lead to new tools and wood which lead to more pieces for the gallery and so on...
