American Association of Woodturners National Symposium 2002

The 2002 AAW Symposium was held in Providence, Rhode Island at the Rhode Island Convention Center. Very nice facility, nice city, great turning, great art. The trip was worth every minute.  Below are several pictures of the symposium, exhibits, instant gallery, and the demonstrators we had the opportunity to observe.
