Congrats John Beaver

[John Keeton]

We had another creeker "make good" at AAW! I talked with John Beaver, and his work was picked up by a couple of collectors and he was commissioned on at least one piece. He was receiving some well deserved recognition for his unique work.

Great to have some folks among us that have the talent to rise to the top!

[John Hart]

Excellent!!!
Nice to hear...although, I am not surprised. :)

[David E Keller]

That's great news! Not a shocking development... In fact, I'd be more shocked if it hadn't have happened. Congrats, John!

[Tim Thiebaut]

Congrats John B.!! Very well deserved. HHmmmm....John K said "another creeker makes good...." a clue about Steve me thinks...?!?

[Jim Burr]

Congratz John!!!! Hardly unexpected and richly deserved!

[Robert McGowen]

Can I say that it looks like you are making "waves" or is that just to corny? Congrats!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats John. Well deserved.

[John Keeton]

Congrats John B.!! Very well deserved. HHmmmm....John K said "another creeker makes good...." a clue about Steve me thinks...?!?Tim, I was actually referring to Alan Trout with that comment. Alan had some fantastic response to his work, including the two sales and some serious collector interest, as well.

[Rick Markham]

Hey Congrats John Beaver! Congrats to Alan Trout too! Both well deserved recognition, thanks for sharing your work with us on the creek!

It's corny, but I did snicker. Congrats John!!

[Alan Trout]

Yes, Congratulations John. Very well deserved.

Alan

[Tim Thiebaut]

I see...well congrats to Alan as well!!

[John Beaver]

John K, thanks for the "promo", and thanks everyone else for the kind comments. It was great meeting John and Steve and everyone else at the show. I had a fantastic time and learned and accomplished a lot. Between the demos, panel discussions, galleries and trade show my brain is on overload.

Sunday night I was heading out to dinner and ran into one of my favorite turners in the elevator. We ended up going to dinner together and talked about turning for about 4 hours. What an incredible experience!!!
