If you live in Tennessee or surrounding states the TAW Symposium in Nashville might be worth attending. I've been there a number of times and plan on going again this year. It's a excellent event, comfortable demo rooms in the Marriott convention center, and plenty of vendors if short on wood or tools.
The TAW has one of the best means I've seen of getting good video of the turnings to the big screens. And I've met a bunch of great turners there!
The dates are January 25th and 26th.
Demonstrators this year:
Location:
Marriott Hotel and Convention Center Franklin, TN
700 Cool Springs Blvd
Franklin, TN 37067
There are plenty of hotels/motels just a few miles from the convention center, some quite reasonable.
(I should know, I'm cheap)
(No disclosure, I have no dog in this race. Just enjoy going!)
We have been to quite a few of these and have watched this grow from a smallish turning club show into one of the best regional symposiums in the country. Very well run, excellent lineup of demonstrators and actually good food at the banquet. One of the most enjoyable shows we attend during the year and a good break for the bleary winter days.
Stop by and say hello to Big Monk Lumber in the trade show.
