I have been lurking around for a couple of weeks trying to decide how to reintroduce myself back on the creek. I see a lot of new names and some that I remember.
I'll tell the new folks a little about myself (I'll keep it brief) I was heavy into woodworking and wood turning back in the early 2000's. In 2006 my wife of 40 years became severely ill, ultimately passing away in January of 2007. I lost all interest in my shop and any hobby's for quite some time. I worked, ate and slept just passing time. I had no one to encourage me to do anything much less woodworking.
Well as time passed the good Lord put another wonderful woman in my life and as someone once said "I'm back". She saw some of my turned bowls sitting around the house and asked if I would turn her one for Christmas. My friend David Hammon came by my shop to help retrain me.and I turned her a beautiful Ambrosia maple bowl ( I'll try to post a picture later). Needless to say I am hooked again.
I wanted to get back on the creek again because it can be a valuable resource of information. We all need advice from time to time and maybe I can help out a little also. So I will be looking forward to seeing everyone in the days to come. Don
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
