Vivian, I know you meant Visions West, when you came from the Danforth opening. Glad you enjoyed them.

Ron , I loved seeing your work at the Danforth Gallery last night. I particularly liked the burl bowl, so beautiful. Keep turning on your mountain. Best, Vivian

Comment on Tan Oak Hollow Form 5. Private collection by threebearsturner

Peter, tan oak is in fact a tree native to the Pacific Northwest. In frontier days it was one of the most abundant and was widely used in building what were called corduroy roads. After felling the trees and stripping off the branches, the logs were laid side by side like straws. This was done because the area is so wet making roads impassible much of the time; therefore, the tan oak roads. The roads took there toll and the tan oak has only recently come back to some abundance.

Is tan oak an actual tree?

Bunty is in the apprentice program under Emma’s supervisor. I believe the training will be completed before snow sets in so Emma can enjoy her days next to the fireplaces. We enjoyed your visit very much.

I love the site and am delighted that you sent the link to me. After my visit to Montana, I showed my photos to Coley, my personal family wood-worker. He is quite the snob about tools, but admitted that you, in fact, have an impressive lathe. This is a very rare and important compliment from him. Personally, I just loved visiting with you and Jane and seeing your shop. OK, so one question: Isn’t there a corgi in your life? Doesn’t she deserve a job with pay and pension?

I was thinking you had got really hi tech and added bar codes. Tried my bar code scanner and…… nothing happened.

Understand you have a new assistant vacuum attacker?

I think we have things under control here as the staff has decided to reflect on your comment during their nap. Take care.

I think you should take that chain off of that dead bear in the photo titled “Red Gum Root”. What are you doing with a dead bear? Other than that everything looks great. You might want to change your assistants if they had anything to do with bear.
