There are the pyrographers, cut and paste, paint and shine and all kinds of
types who create art out of their turnings. Some even draw plans.

Here is another example that makes my previous point. George's comment above
implies that art is something you do after turning, that the turning can't be,
or is void of, art. Another way of saying this is, "A turning isn't art, but
might be the canvas for art." I disagree.

I think I am correct in saying that the premise behind The Wood Turning Center
is that turnings CAN be art sometimes, even without the post-processing George
mentions. http://www.woodturningcenter.org/
