    Made the cover of Woodturning design magazine.

    I can finally let the cat out of the bag, Woodturning Design Magazine has given me the honor of the cover of their fine publication as well as a bio on my woodworking history. I haven't got my hands on a copy yet, just the cover. The piece they chose for the cover is my favorite segmented piece to date. 1902 pieces of Curly Maple and Tropical Walnut. I did this using a completely different method I derived from an inlay technique, it was practice for a much, much larger vessel that is in progress. I'll post more once I receive my copy. Thanks to Joe Herrmann for all his help & guidance to make this come true.

    From the photo I'd say the cover is well deserved. That is one gorgeous design and form.

    Congrats Bill (although I already knew about it!) It was good to meet and chat with you in person.

    Bill congratulation on the cover shot. But more importantly is that you have helped so many people and is my guess that you will continue too do so. I have been a recipient of your help and it was much appreciated. Again Congrats!!

    I think this equates nicely to wood turning as well . . . . .

    Thanks everyone. Any help I can give is not as much as I have received. I've developed my skill from the knowledge I've gained from the woodworking community, so thank all of you.
