The Charlotte Woodturner's Club, Southern Piedmont Club, and Waxhaw Woodturner's had a booth at the Southern Spring Home and Garden Show this past weekend. It wasn't extremely successful for selling pieces but we had a lot of interest in the clubs.
We had a lot of excellent turners represented including Anatoly Tsiris' large boxelder natural edge. At least 10000 people had to touch it over the course of the show. Unfortunately for Anatoly, no one had the pocket book to manage the price tag.
Attached are few pics of the event. The first includes Charles Farrar's work in the top right corner, my work in the middle and Bill Mcinnis' work near the left side of the picture. The small hollow form in the middle near the bottom was made by Steve Richie. and the natural edge piece is John Benton's. The second picture is one of Anatoly's small pieces. The third picture is of Bruce Lacey carving on the rim of a vase.
