Visual Appearance Explained

I apologize for having to add my logo and web address to every single image on this site. Unfortunately, I have been given no other choice as I have found numerous violations of out-right stealing of my images and copyright violations throughout the web.

It can be very frustrating to realize that all your hard work is just a click away for someone to copy and claim for their own, but that is the world we live in.

Please excuse the graphics applied to my images. I’m only adding them out of necessity and will try my best to make them as small and least obtrusive as possible.

I deeply appreciate your understanding!

Example of Usage Violation

The Oregon Woodturning Symposium organizers or venders, without consent or approval, downloaded this bowl gouge graphic from the detailed article on this site about bowl gouges vs. spindle gouges.

Bowl Gouge vs Spindle Gouge Tip Shape

The bowl gouge image above was manipulated to create the number 3 on the cover of the 2019 Oregon Woodturning Symposium guide. This cover design is derived from the above artwork owned by this website and is an actionable violation of the copyright laws.

As a fellow woodturner, who happened to be at this symposium, this issue has now been resolved amicably. Please contact me prior to any use of artwork or content to avoid this type of situation. Thank you.
