>The "Warden" is taking me for some "enrichment" in Junealuska North Carolina. I think that is east of Winston Salem or some such. Is/ are there things a turner should see or buy down that a way???? We'll be there next week for a week...

>Are you talking about Lake Junaluska which is just west of Ashville. If so there is a strong woodturning club located in Ashville. See link to their website. They should have a list of local turners.

>Phil:
Lake Junaluska is close to Asheville, I would not miss the Southern Highlands Craft Guild store on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wayneville and Asheville are filled with craft stores(either hate them or tolerate them) the woodturning and pottery is exceptional.
Have a great time.

>Junealuska (sp.)is at Waynesville, NC just off of I-40 about thirty miles from Tennessee border. Packard, http://www.packardwoodworks.com/ is twenty miles east on I-40 and then 32 miles east(actually south) on I-26 from Juneluska @ Tryon, NC. Packard sells only turning stuff. Cormark International, http://www.cormarkint.com/ is ten miles north of Asheville. Cormark is a purveyor of fine African and domestic hardwoods. The Biltmore House, America's only true castle, was built from virgin timber from the 1890's, is in Asheville. Asheville is 24 miles east of Juneluska. You can see boards that are over 48" wide. It is well worth the $50 admission.
Carolina Mountain Woodturners will meet on Sept 25 for their annual auction. They meet at the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway a few miles north of Asheville. This is the largest AAW club in America with about 350 members.
If you want more info e-mail me.

>Ok thanks. No one has mentioned Penland's school. Isn't that at Brasstown south of Asheville?
Also Arrowmont, both or either would be nice to tour their facilities and what they teach in many different crafts including woodwork and turning.
They both have web sites, do a search for them, I don't have links.
