He was named the woodturning director at “Canyon Studios" which is a new school in a suburb of Dallas, TX. You can get info about the school and classes at www.canyonstudios.org. Also you can see Jimmy's work at his website www.jimmyclewes.com. Our club library has many of his DVDs. Jimmy gained his understanding of wood as a tree surgeon and also has formal training in engineering, furniture building and design, plus over 20 years of woodturning experience. Jimmy demonstrated for us in October 2007 and the event was very well attended. Click here to see the write-up and photos from 2007.
