Title: A lost site refound
Post by: bodrighywood on April 26, 2014, 10:37:46 PM

Some years ago I came across this site (http://www.woodturningart.com/) and was impressed by the work shown. I had forgotten it until I came across it again today whilst looking for something else. Whilst I don't like everything on it I can't help be impressed by the skill and imagination. May not be new to you but I have never heard of the turner, Fred Wiman,  other than on this site so thought it worth sharing.

What an amazing collection of work and the first thought that struck me was, 'How long did it tame him to work his way through that lot?'
The second thing that caught my attention was the (genuine/original?) wabi sabi work with the burrs amongst the collection
