Turner Interview: Tom Sherman

[Curt Fuller]

Nice interview Tom. That's interesting that both you and 'The Boss' turn wood. My 'Boss' has no interest in turning and I usually go to the shop to try and forget she's 'The Boss'.

[John Miliunas]

Nice interview, Tom! Amazing how so many of the "Boss's" out there are similar, ain't it? My "Boss" and I turn together, as well. I turn stuff on the lathe and when done with a piece, she takes it and turns toward the house with it! Great to know you better and now get busy on those "other" spinny projects, as well as trying to get out and meet some of your fellow Creekers! It's always a blast!

[Tom Sherman]

Thanks folks for alll the nice comments. Everyone here has been an inspiration to me now that I have the ok to get started back to turning I feel like it will go well. Spent most of the day yesterday cutting blanks and painting endgrain found out I have a bit more wood than I first imagined and still have a good sized pile behind my garage that I'll have to work on. I have a piece of wood on the lathe as we speak I originally thought it was maple but am now convinced that it is dogwood. Any way it is very pretty and I'm sure it will make a nice piece if I can pull it together.

Nice to know more about you Tom!
