Off to Turn On Chicago.

[Bob Bergstrom]

Leaving for the symposium in another hour. 3 days of watching and talking with Woodturners. It is located on a Semary campus that set on a lake surrounded with trees. It was owned by Edward G. Hines, the lumber baron. All accomdations, wifi, snacks and meals come with the entry fee. Park my car and not need it till Sunday night. Even though all buildings have air, I may have to jump in that lake. Chicago area will see a heat index of 110 this Friday, Saturday. Here's my gallery entries. Going with a paint theme this year. Anyone going? Look me up. Always great to talk.

Joe, I enjoyed every minute. The pieces you guys displayed were perfection and such a humble resolve at the critique. Hope it is ok to show these pictures of this piece. The color change blew me away.

Glad you liked them Bob. Feel free to post any pictures you want of our work. I didn't know they were even going to be critiqued. I felt honored to have Steven Hatcher & Mark Sirri critique our work. I just wondered into the critique room as I had a little free time between rotations. So naturally I had to stay when I saw they were going to do a critique of our pieces.
