    A life well-lived. Truly a great hole in the heart of the woodturning community now. Our condolences to his family.

    Perhaps a moderator could merge this thread and the one started yesterday by Steve. I like the title of this thread better.

    What a beautiful article, and I am sure he will be missed by many. My condolences to his family and his wood turning friends.

    Our thoughts are with his family today.

    Ahh how sad indeed. We should all be so thankful for what he shared with all of us and for what he did for our country. I only knew him from SMC, but he inspired me enough to try piercing.
    I haven't posted anything here in quite a while, so here's to you Wally!
