You know you are a 'luthier' when neighbors pass on to you beautiful curly maple, apple, etc that dad put away and they 'just want to see something pretty made from'. And you know you are a woodturner when your luthier friend (brother) passes on turnable cutoffs and thick boards with small wormtrack and ambrosia because it would ruin a guitar - and you are glad to get them.

You know you're a woodturner if the only pens you use have wooden casemates.

When the neighbors ask what are the large logs in the front yard or the stack of tool books exceeds 2' beside your chair and you know whats on every page .

[Jim Underwood]

When your idea of a good time is spending time in front of a spinning piece of wood that's saturating your front side with tree juice, and an exciting time is seeing how far your gouge can shoot streamers of wood....

You know you are a woodturner if you carry all your chain saw gear in your truck and are on a constant look-out for road kill.

When the neighbors ask what are the large logs in the front yard... .

My bride bought me a diesel tractor ith a front end loader.

[John Aspinall]

When you tear out the bottom seam in your shop shirt pockets so they don't fill up with shavings.
When you find wood shavings in your bed because you were too tired to shower after finishing your piece at 2 am and your wife knows where you went in the house by the trail of wood chips you left behind.

... And when there's more wood shavings than lint in the dryer filter.
