How can you top spending a week in a wood turning class?
If the class is instructed by Travis Stinson!
And the only way to top that is to leave with a truck load of fresh cut walnut logs!!
Just returned from a weeks class at the American Sycamore Retreat, featuring Travis as the instructor. Unfortunately for Travis there were more no shows than students. As most know Travis is an excellent turner, he is also an exceptional instructor. I learned what I came to the class for and enjoyed the week and meeting Travis.
As for the walnut, Travis told Mike (the owner) at breakfast one morning that he would like to turn some green walnut. With that Mike got up from the table and walked outside. A few minutes later we hear a chain saw running and find Mike felling a 60'+ walnut tree. Mike wanted to know if that was enough walnut for us!
For those wanting to learn how to make hollow forms, or just refine your skills you should contact Travis and arrange to take his class. It will be money well spent!

I was kinda testing the waters to see how it would go and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I'll be sure to let everyone know before the next one comes up. I'd love to spend a week with a shopful of Creekers!
