First time in a publication

[John M. Smith]

A photo of Up, UP, and Away appears in the UK magazine, Woodturning.:D:D:D This is the first, and hopefully not last time, I have had something I made published. Scott Fles and I created this piece for the Artprize competition here in Grand Rapids, Michigan. While at the symposium in St. Paul, I met and talked with Mark baker, and he said to send him pictures of it and he would get them in the magazine. If you ever have the chance to meet Mark, he is a great guy to talk with. It's on page 68 of the December issue.

Had seen the photo a couple of weeks ago in the magazine but it's nice to be able to "talk " to the creater. Stunning piece well done

Congratulations to both of you, I remember the original post and am not at all surprised of the recognition you certainly deserve on this colaboration.

Thanks alot everyone. It was a fun project to do with someone else. I came out with a new turning friend, showed it in a couple of shows, and now published. Doesn't get any better than that.

Congrats to both of you. That is a cool piece.
