    Talking Press Release on Keeton!

    I love it when friends get recognition for what they do - especially when it comes to turning.

    Check out this press release on John Keeton! The big event is tomorrow and I have already asked him to take some photos!! Please join me in congratulating him! Hard to believe that he started turning only a few short years ago!!

    Congrats John!
    Steve

    Congratulations, John. You do some of the most beautiful lathe work I have ever seen.

    I suspect the awards John turned will get about as much buzz as the recipients themselves........these 12 "trophies" are stellar work....form, conception, finish and execution..........congratulations JK!

    Outstanding. As a somewhat new turner I've admired John's work, his comments, instruction and mentoring through this site. He was also kind enough to visit with me on the phone and share his expertise in helping my learning curve. His trophies are superb examples of his incredible work. You certainly deserve this honor, John.

    Congratulations John!

    I'll say it again........for someone who only wanted to turn a couple table legs for a piece of furniture he was making....You have come a long ways!

    Quite well deserved accolades John! Again....Congratulations!

    So much to learn, so little time.....

    Congratulations are definitely in order! I was able to see the awards at various stages of production in John's shop this year -- they are remarkable in person!
