The David Ellsworth Legacy Project is designed to document and celebrate David’s contributions to woodturning spanning more than 50 years.
To assess his legacy, we invite you to share your gratitude to David and tell us how he has influenced your personal journey in woodturning. Did you watch a VHS tape of his in the ‘80s? Or buy his tools, read his techniques book, see a demonstration by him, or take one of his classes? However David instructed, guided, inspired, encouraged, or helped you, tell him—and us. Your story could end up the book!
If you can make a donation to the Project or volunteer to help spread the word, that will help insure David’s legacy for many years to come.
Stand and deliver…your views.
Share your thoughts about David.
