Fall 2000 Kestrel Creek Gallery
Newsletter
Welcome back to this edition of our newsletter. We
hope that we can add some value to the woodturning community. This
newsletter links to our website where you will find the full text with
images for each article below. We are sure that you will be interested
in several of these features. Feel free to forward this on to anyone who
you think might be interested in this.
1. We've added 5 new pieces on display. The styles
vary widely from a small carved lidded ebony container to a huge maple
burl hollow vessel suspended in the air on two legs to an elegantly
shaped Southwest style vessel that is sandblasted and ebonized. This is
a huge spectrum of designs that we are proud to share with you.

2. We are proud to show the work of our new
"Artist In Residence" Bill Johnston. Bill is a professional
turner from North Carolina. He has been turning for 20 years and has a
wonderful style and technique that he is sharing on our website. He is
focusing his presentation on the use of color in woodturning art.

3. Our Critique Central Project is up and running.
This is an exciting project that allows you to be an art critic. First
up is a piece by Jim Christiansen titled "Arts and Crafts
Box". This is a carved, colored, and footed box with a pipestone
finial in the arts and crafts style. On this site you will find photos,
Jim's design thoughts, and critiques by others. You will also have the
opportunity to add your own critique. Later, a piece will be created
using advice gained by the critiques. And we will put the two up for
comparison.

4. Ben Carpenter has added a great article on his
perspective as a seventeen
year old woodturner. He has developed tremendous skills and he shares
his ideas on woodturning and the "risks" involved.

creative genius behind Glaser Hi-Tec tools and several other
knowledgeable woodturners contribute to a in-depth look at grinding
wheels.

Links" page.

our slide show. The show contains artistic group shots. It takes a
couple moments to load the first few images before the show takes off.
