Hello, my name is David Hoerle.
I am the artist/craftsman (as well as chief broom pusher and
dustpan master) of  .
I had watched
my brother-in-law turn for quite some time, and thought it
might be fun; but, was afraid all I'd do is play and not get
anything else done. Well, I was right! Since buying my
first lathe in 1993, the only thing my saws are used for is
cutting blanks to put on the lathe.

Marquetry is another one of my hobbies. For a larger image

A "Matched" Set |
|
One day while working on a set of goblets, my 7 year old son came out to the shop and insisted on helping me. It would seem that I became a bit distracted!
|
|
| Actually, the idea for this turning project came from the British magazineWOODTURNER. While clearing land to build our church in '94, I found a dozen old fenceposts leaning against a red oak tree at a fencerow corner. Checking with the farmer from whom we bought the property, I found the posts had been there for about 25 years. In turning this project, I discovered that 25 year old osage orange is EXTREMELY hard! | |

I have been a member of the Central Ohio Woodturners for about 3½
years. We are now in our 2nd year as
the local chapter of the American Association of Woodturners,
and growing strong!
In the spring of 1996 the Central Ohio Woodturners became a
chapter of the American Association of Woodturners. For reasons
unknown it was an uphill struggle to become organized as a
chapter of the AAW; but, it finally happened. If you happen
to be in the central Ohio area, please feel free to drop in
and join us. We hold our meetings on the second Tuesday of the month,
(September through May), beginning at 7P.M.
Our club was recently given access to a new facility.
We are now meeting in the Industrial Arts building of
the Ohio State University at
1100 Kinnear Road, Columbus, OH.
