“A Family Affair”

About Us

The inspiration for the name of our group is “Truffle” the tricolor Smooth Collie.  As our loyal companion, he guards and protects us when we are out in the shop turning.

We developed this web site as a reference source for fellow woodturners.  Our intention is to share our newly acquired knowledge of the craft and to consolidate relevant information that we find useful.

 

 

About the Emblem

 

We designed the emblem for Tri-color Turners to reflect us.  We wanted to recognize our work beyond our individuality and decided that a more formal name would be appropriate and that it should reflect the status of our lives at the time we discovered woodturning.  While we modified the inside of our 10’ x 12’ shop to accommodate our lathes and auxiliary equipment our loyal friend Truffle guarded us.  It occurred to us that his loyalty and dedication should be acknowledged and therefore seemed appropriate that he be included in the emblem.  We also wanted to recognize that woodturning is a family affair for us so we included the male and female stick figures on the wood shop that Truffle guards.  The double ‘T’ is placed on our work as a short hand representation of the emblem .
