Giant Gloat

[sam upton]

At this time last week I was very uneasy as I was preparing to meet with the founders of a new gallery. Well the uneasy 196019feeling was soon replaced with extreme excitement, as two of my bowls were chosen to be represented at the gallery.
I now can say that I am a wo196018odturner & artist. The two that were chosen are a cherry burl & a big leaf maple burl.
Thanks for any comments, Sam196017

Easy to see why these were chosen. Very nice. I especially like the BLM burl piece-very classy.

Sam - Congrats!!! Always great to hear when a fellow Creeker gets recognition for their work! Nice turnings and I hope they are the start of many more shows for you!

Very cool, Sam! I hope the gallery leads to sales which lead to new tools and wood which lead to more pieces for the gallery and so on...
