Paul Hannaby (UK) brazillian tulipwood multi axis hollow form 7x14cm. SignedI first saw Ray demonstrate at the NEC. I was captivated by the ease with which he achieved the shapes so easily. I met Ray at a number of the AWGB seminars and at exhibitions where we both exhibited as members of neighbouring craft guilds. We often had lengthy chats (Ray talked, I listened!) at those events. Later, I had the privilege of working alongside Ray as a volunteer with the AWGB. Ray was always passionate about the AWGB and what it stood for and he was always an advocate for the training programme, particularly the youth training. I have many positive memories of Ray and he will continue to inspire me for as long as I turn wood.The piece I chose for the collaboration was cut to shape and had a hole drilled in preparation for mounting so it was clear what Ray intended to do with it. I used that as a guide and incorporated multi-axis turning to show off the wood to its best. I hope Ray would have approved.The Ray Key Collaboration Auctionn
