I agree with everything I have read from people commenting on the Symposium. It was a great experience, and the pieces were mind blowing. It was overwhelming! :eek: One purchase I made as a token of my first AAW Symposium was one of Thompson's handles. Sorry, not pic of it (yet), you can trust me. :) Maybe my other pics will make up for it.
Here is a link to some pics I took at the AAW Symposium. I was able to get wi-fi in a couple of the rooms and uploaded lots and lots of pics while I watched some demos. Gotta love free wi-fi.

I hope flickr is not considered a forum (I apologize ahead of time). If it is, I may get in trouble with the moderators. If that is the case, then I feel the moderators should simply delete the link, and not follow the link to view some of the greatest examples and inspiring pieces created by our peers (on varying levels). ;) I can't possibly post them all here.
Most of these pics are from the free areas of the Symposium so I don't think there are any issues with me posting them. There are some pics of demonstrators, but I don't think you can learn anything proprietary from them. If anything, I think I am helping with their marketing...
I did take quite a few shots for the AAW of the youth programs and the banquet that I did not upload. One, the youth program, I just didn't want to post pics of children - just not somewhere I wanted to go. I will let the AAW publish those on its behalf. Two, the banquet, just didn't get time to upload them. Its really the pieces people are interested in anyhow.
Enjoy looking at the pieces created from some of the greatest turners and artists in this field. Oh, a note on Mr. Grumbine, he did not turn while I there without his mask down. It came up in our conversation.
If you use any of these pics for anything beyond your own viewing, please give me credit. Note: they are copyrighted in the exif data.
The one piece that I keep coming back to is below. It went for a steal at the auction. The maple leaves are just mind boggling, and how do you glue up all of those little pieces?!
