In the field behind the house, in the evening light, the intensity of Joni's gaze as she waits for the blue ball is typically border collie.

After my week of teaching in September at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Maine, I will be doing a day of demonstrating for the Maine Woodturners on Saturday September 12 from 9 am to 4 pm.
I am looking forward to it. If you are able to come along it should be a great day, I hope.
The details are on the site, but admission is $20 for members and $30 for non-members. Lunch (pizza and soda) is $5.

Originally conceived in 1999 and winner of the Festival of the Arts Award by the Nova Scotia Designer Crafts Council in that year, the Saturn box remains one of my favourites. This is the first one I have made for a while, and the first on the Robust Lathe.
This piece is made from African blackwood and is approximately 3" high and 3" in diameter. And of course it is a box! All my boxes can be purchased from my online 'Small Box Store' on my website: http://www.stevenkennard.com

I'm really looking forward to teaching a class in turned and sculpted boxes at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship in Rockport, Maine, September 7-11 this year. It's my third time back and I always enjoy it. It's a beautiful part of the country and the school has just built a brand new woodturning studio (for me?). It's beautifully equiped with lots of Oneway lathes. It's a dream environment, a 'must go to' destination to come and learn about makng beautiful boxes. It's a lovely time of the year, too.
Still a few places left, so check it out here:

CENTER FOR FURNITURE CRAFTSMANSHIP – Rockport, Maine: WOODWORKING CLASSES IN MAINE Our woodworking school offers courses in furniture making and related skills such as carving, turning, marquetry and finishing.
But what are they? (not boxes)
Just getting things ready to pack to take with me for the American Association of Woodturners Symposium. Here are a couple of pieces.. Wondering what they are? If you are attending the symposium make sure to sit in on my rotations on Friday afternoon or Sunday morning to find out. If you can't be there, I'll let you know afterwards!
I've almost got everything together and am really looking forward to the weekend. See you there if you are going.

The release of the Vimeo profile video about me ( https://vimeo.com/126545288 ) has prompted requests to show some of the photography of the actual lost orchard. Here is my posting and an image I took in the fog, of one of the wonderful old trees in that beautiful orchard. I have now made a gallery of it, which you see below.
Lost Orchard
This was a very special old orchard not far from me, situated next to an old graveyard. It looked particularly interesting in the fog with bare branches gnarled and twisted reaching into the misty air, looking like hands.
It was cut down shortly after I took these photographs. The field is now fallow.
Thanks a lot to Jon Binzen for the lovely writeup!

Terrific job everyone. It is a beautiful profile video, that's for sure. It is featured on the Collectors of Wood Art of America site as well as the American Association of Woodturners site.
It was tweeted by +Guy Kawasaki and was on some pretty major sites apart from the specialist ones mentioned above.
