Hello to all, thanks for making room for one more. I have recently been introduced to your site and already see the caliber of people will make this a great experience. A little about myself; I am a forester and I have found this a very useful trade when it comes to woodworking. I started my hobby/passion of woodworking about 16 years ago right out of college and through many forestry related contacts have been able to procure most of the wood (usually as logs I have milled) and have created a decent 'stash' of lumber. Until recently all my efforts have been involved with furniture construction but this summer I fell into the vortex of woodturning. Now that I have found a way to use virtually an entire tree, it sometimes saddens me now to think of all the wonderful bowl stock I once discarded as junk. I am a Greensboro native, lived near Wilmington for several years and recently moved back to Greensboro with a job change. As I try to struggle through the new wonders of woodturning I hope I may glean from the experts that reside here and hopefully can return this favor in time.

Thanks again for the great site, I look forward to 'meeting' many of you.

Welcome to the site, Randy!!!:icon_thum:icon_thum

There are plenty of excellent turners here at the site and always willing to share their experience and offer advice when needed.

With your broad background in the forestry business, I know that you will be a tremendous asset to us gaining more knowledge on the subject.

Post often and by all means share some pictures of your work with us. We do love pictures 'round here!

Take care!
