| Turn On! Chicago 2008 Chicago, Illinois |
| The Big Monk Lumber Company booth at Turn On! Chicago. This was taken in the quiet of Friday morning, before most of the attendees had arrived. Shirley is checking out the breakfast menu. |
| Ruth Niles seems to follow me around to most of these events. This is her booth, right next to some of the Big Monk wood. |
| Selection of hollowing tools, gouges, handles and videos at John Jordan's booth. |
| Vicki Jordan and Ruth Niles sharing a moment while waiting for the after lunch crowd in the vendor area. |
| Hollow forms by Ruth Niles in the Instant Gallery. |
| Yes, Binh Pho was there, along with his beautiful work. |
| An assortment of boxes and an oval platter from Alan Lacer. |
| Hard to miss these beautiful forms of John Jordan's. |
| New work and amazing textures from Jacques Vesery. |
| A little something that Paul Shotola whipped up and then donated to the auction. |
| Having a little fun at the banquet - (from left) Jacques Vesery, Richard Belzer, Binh Pho (complete with bunny ears), John Jordan and David Ellsworth, all just waiting for dinner. |
| Mary Lacer was in attendance and her name tag proves it! (Demonstrator's wife, banquet only.) |
| Everyone's smiling - food must be on the way! |
| More work from the Instant Gallery - left to right, pieces from Arn Ward, Jason Swanson and Barbara Crockett. One lesson learned from this is to use something other than maroon tablecloths to best present the turnings. |
