Woodworking in the Round  I live in the Eastern Virginia, Remlik to be exact. I have run a sawmill ever since 1985 when we brought new LT-40 home from Indianapolis. I mainly focus on custom sawing and custom flooring but also have some inventory that includes wood for turning.  Even though I did not get serious about woodworking until we began building our house in the early '90's, I have always been interested in it to the point that I subscribed to and read Fine Woodworking ever since about 1984. Until 1997 I was very happy building furniture then I bought my first lathe and I was hooked. For the most part I have focused what little free time I have on turning ever since. The only other hobby I have is Japanese embroidery, which is on the opposite end of the spectrum of the instant gratification of turning.  My husband and I own a country store and deli. In our case the description is deceiving since we sell fresh roasted coffee beans as well as coffee. Dan is an extraordinary BBQer and pitmaster so our deli meat offerings include pork BBQ, smoked salmon, prime rib, roast beef to mention just a very small selection.  I have been hanging around Wood Central almost as long as it has been here.
