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.
Retired - when every day is Saturday (unless it's Sunday).
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 .
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 your weekly "trash" from the shop is 3 time larger than your regular household trash.
After two days at the water park in chlorinated water your kids tell you "Dad you still smell like Elm..."
Every horizontal surface in the house is covered with your "pieces" (some stacked 3 or 4 deep), and your license plate is LV2TURN .
"If it is wood, I will turn it."
vor-tex: any activity, situation, or way of life regarded as irresistibly engulfing.
All real woodturners have a big moustache to filter out the curls in your coffee or whatever.
