“It’s not just firewood anymore!” Since Sid am now somewhat retired from a lengthy career in education, he has been able to return to turning wood, a passion smoldering since his industrial arts classes in Preston many years ago. Turning wood has unleashed a creative energy that he didn’t realize he had. Chisel skills intersect with endless “What ifs?” to produce objects of beauty. Sid has had the opportunity to turn some pieces from apple trees and shade trees seen in the background of family’s and friends’ photos. Those turnings become almost spiritual. It’s hard to describe.
