Woodturning |
Our son, Richard is the woodturner in the family. Many of you have met Richard and already know that he is autistic. But for those that have not met him, I think you are in for a real treat. He is a fascinating, fun and creative person. He loves his new woodturning adventure and will be more than happy to tell you all about it. There is something about working with wood that he just can't get enough of. We have been very blessed in our lives to have a wonderful instructor, Larry Walrath, working with Richard this year. Richard has learned so much and his love for wood and turning on the lathe just grows and grows everyday. So far, they have made bowls, vases, ornaments, lamp bases and Richard's favorite, mushrooms. Richard's wood shop is in what used to be the farm's smokehouse. It is basically an old shack that has modern electricity to run all of his equipment. He loves visitors, so if you are interested in wood turning, please stop in and say hi. Richard will be glad to show you around. |
