Welcome to my brand new blog! Like millions of others, I have something to say that I think others (that is, you) will enjoy, benefit from or find provocative. I have lots of interests, so while this site is really about my wood turning, I'll be blogging about all kinds of things that happen in my life. From books to movies to music to world events to yes, wood, I'll put my thoughts down here and invite your comments.
Some posts will be long, some short. Some will be about my hobbies - music, wood turning, and others. Some will just be random thoughts or events. Evolution will take place - I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes me! number 1
It's everywhere, in everything, either as itself for its beauty, strength, flexibility or other natural properties, or broken down for its constituent parts like fiber, resin, or sap. From construction materials to artworks, wood shows up in many unexpected and taken-for-granted places. Did you know that prior to high grade aluminum being readily available, the preferred material for aircraft construction was Sitka spruce? Did you know that paper is made from fir trees? Did you know that high end automobiles still require claro walnut burl (and other types) for their decorative accents?
