    Travis Stinson Demo in Memphis

    TaDa !! Here it is, the long awaited pic's of Travis' demo at the MSWG club in Memphis today. We had a good turnout. The only problem was the Conway crew did not get to make it so we were 3 short. Travis and I both were really looking forward to seeing them but things happen sometimes. He did not have a single catch or malfunction. (that anyone noticed anyway). Turned a complete hackberry HF with an Ebony collar. Did not sand or finish though. I haven't told him yet that our policy is that once it's finished he sends it back and we auction it to raise funds for the club. Anyway the pic's are self explanatory and the last one is typical of the member's reaction.

    Holy cow, you mean to tell that my mini can be used to create the things Travis does? Well there went the bar past the roof.

    That looks to have been a treat.

    Two things I want to do someday, watch Travis perform his magic and have a plate of ribs at the Rendezvous. Would have been a good chance for both.

    Would it be inappropriate to notice that Travis has cute knees?

    Wow - thanks for sharing Keith! There are a lot of members that perform absolute magic when it comes to turning and Travis is right at the top of the list! Hopefully I will get the chance to attend one of his demo's - til then, thanks for keeping the rest of us in the loop!

    Nope!

    It would only be inappropriate if you noticed he had a cute weeknee.

    Curt, don't rush to Memphis to go to the Rendezvous. The quality has gone downhill in recent years!!
