I started woodturning in 2004 but have worked with wood for much, much longer (furniture, home repairs, etc.).
In 2008 I served as president of the Mid-South Woodturners Guild.
In 2016 I was honored with an Honorary Lifetime Member Award by the MSWG.
In 2018, after I retired, I agreed once again to serve on the MSWG board as a member at large.
This year I am serving as MSWG's Vice President.
My demo will feature the making of a beverage smoker - just like the ones featured in my recently published article in AAW's February 2021 Woodturning Fundamentals online issue.
