Finally getting caught up from being gone from work. Here are a few pics from my stay in Provo at the symposium. Had a great time, super people and wonderfull weather and great turners. What could be better.....:)

First stop , the Burl Source, My chauffer Dan Symonds & Johnathan

200662244649_pr_skip_work.jpg


Some of Skip's work, the owner of the Burl Source

200662244754_pr_5axis.jpg


Dan was mixing business with pleasure, he had to make a stop at a machine shop doing work for his company. I thought about buying this 5 axis lathe till I heard the price tag, 1 million plus tooling. What a tour we had of their shop.


200662245121_pr_sharon_doughtie.jpg


Sharon Doughtie demo's her buringing technique and patterns





20066225231_pr_sharons_bowls.jpg


Sharon's work

200662245428_pr_treeline.jpg


So at lunch, I ran down to Treeline which happens to be next to CSU and bought a wood burning set. Wonderfull store for carving, burning & ecthing supplies


20066224565_pr_csu.jpg


Craft Supplies demo and warehouses, what a wonderfull back drop to some beautifull county


200662245711_pr_gisi.jpg


Mark & Brian Gisi do a demo at CSU, during Super Wed. Don Ward was the professional camera man


200662245841_pr_legacy_warehs.jpg


Legacy Ornimental mills is only 4 blocks away from CSU, so I ran over there and took a factory tour, impressive, they have all the toolong and machinery to make all their own parts.


2006622507_pr_legacy900.jpg


I do believe this modell 900 has my name on it


20066225050_pr_julie_heryet.jpg


Julie Heryet, demos chasing threads on her boxes


200662252359_pr_julies_%20bowls.jpg





20066225232_pr_gallery.jpg


Some of the artists displays in the gallery


20066225350_pr_finals.jpg


More displays, there was a ton of stuff on display, all amazing


20066225441_pr_mypens.jpg


Someone had to represent Penturners besides the Yahoo/PMG group that had a display, so I put in a sample of my pens.in the Gallery. Notice Johnathan's great case he was selling.


20066225639_pr_woodsale.jpg


This is the Friday evening parking lot sale at the symposium. If you had a truck, you could have made off with some great wood deals


20066225734_pr_bbq.jpg


Before the parking lot sale, we were treated to a great BBQ ontop of this hillside park, overlooking the city and Lake Utah.


20066225834_pr_silentauction.jpg


Demonstarors at the symposium and others donated there demo pieces at a silent auction that raised over 5,000 and was match by BYU for the Industrial arts program.


200662251013_pr_allan_batty.jpg


Allan Batty and yours truly.

Hope you like the pics. :)

Can't wait to see the burnt TRECS (sp?) pen! [:D] That could give you some really neat character (not that the twists aren't enough).

Thanks Anthony. Those burls in the first photo make me drool. I have a nice order in with LeeTreeWorks as we speak. Getting some stock for some stuff I have in mind.

The pictures were great as usual!

WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYY isn't the picture with Brian, Mark, and me in COLOR? Don't we rate a color photo?[:(]

Thanks for the pics Anthony. I took my camera and never removed it from the bag. I can't believe you didn't purchase that 5-axis milling machine. You can always use an extra axis or two.[:D]

Do a good turn daily!

Virgil, don't know wwwhhhhyyyyy the b/w, I must have pressed something wrong, several turned out that way. I barrowed my daughters camera, so wasn't real familar with it.
Never had time to take a pic at the Pen Rendezvous.

Wayne, had a great time, but I think the presenters last year were better. Hope you can swing it next year. I just might drive next year and bring back some of that wood. [:)]

Glad you like the pics, I'll say it again, it was beautifull country, great weather and good people.

Chuckie, if it makes you feel better, I will write your name on it after I put it together [:D]
The guy had me when he said he would knock off 20% for Legacy owners, then after I beat him up for more free stuff, it was a done deal [:p]

I plan on keepping it and leave it set up for smaller projects.
It is a good machine, just limited in the type of patterns it will cut.

Anthony - Great pics! Isnt Skips place nice? What a great guy. He does some incredible carving work. Did you see his new Jarrah Burl carvings? They kinda look like a number 6 or a nike symbol.

Funny thing is there are two brown shelfs on the left side of the photo....

Scott,
I saw the jarrah burl carvings/sculptures. They are incredible.

Dan,
I did not notice the brown beams. Than's strange. Maybe Anthony's daughter's camera has selective color/b&w...but I look much better in color.[:D]

Do a good turn daily!

Yea, those carvings were great, I have pics of those. Skip did a demo using his arbitech & grinding techniques at Treeline on Super Wed. Those tools really hog the wood out. Probablly my next purchase after I get out of hawk from this trip.

Virgil, they didn't have color when you were born......
Come to think of it, did they even have TV [:D]

Anthony - Nice shots of Skips carvings! I just noticed that some of my pens are in the pic of Skips bowls, in the lower right hand corner. Small world. By the way - my telecaster loves your Fender shirt. Nothin like puffing on a cigar, turning pens and playing guitar! My wife says I'm a 40 year old 16 year old. Can ya relate?

Good little show Anthony, hope you guys have a good time at the Provo show, for me I'm not ready to turn yet all tools and gears still pack, busy with work, and on top of that I have to re-arranged the in-law's garden shed for a workshop[:D], maybe for spring ( September)

Hi Anthony,

A super post, great pics... Provo looks like it'sa great gathering. While at the AAW last week I got to meet and speak with Sharon, she was very down to earth, her Celtic knot designed bowls are a real pleasure to see in person as well!
