A latent interest in woodturning came to life in 1989, and since that time, Bill has become an avid and active woodturner. He feels challenged in new and exciting ways by the artistic and technical avenues into which this medium has expanded. Artistic expression in turned wood has grown amazingly in recent decades, and Bill is enthusiastically a part of this creative direction. Bill is largely self-taught, but he has attended numerous woodturning symposiums and demonstration classes over the years that provided the opportunity to study and learn contemporary turning techniques and wood art trends. Bill is an active member of a number of organizations that provide abundant opportunities for peer interchange and critical assessment, as well as technical and artistic growth. These organizations include the American Association of Woodturners, Collectors of Wood Art, Glendale Woodturners Guild and the Orange County Woodturners, plus other artistic involvements.
