American Association of Woodturners (AAW) was founded in 1986.  Woodturning is separated from other wood working, because the tools are a little different, the technique is different,  and the action is different as well.  Under Tib Shaw’s guidance, we had a view on a variety of interesting wood crafts by artisans from all over the world.  And we also had the opportunity to go through the process of wood turning, which is an incredibly satisfying activity!
