John T 744 Report post Posted October 16, 2009 Rick Petry is some wood Guru. He knows his stuff and he has it down to a science. A true master who could be deemed an artist in this field. I used to consider myself an Artist when it came to staining but I no longer do it cause my two guys have taken that over but I was never in Ricks Class. He is the Master!!!!

RPetry 564 Report post Posted October 16, 2009 Thanks for the accolades, Jeff, John, and Jake. Hey, the three "J's"! After 8 years I've learned a little bit about restoring exterior wood. But there are others, some that are active here on TGS, that do extraordinary work, and have been in business far longer than Windsor WoodCare. I've learned a lot from others, and this web site has been a valuable resource over the years. Now, I hope I can transfer some of this wood knowledge into a worthwhile presentation! A question was raised over at PT State that may be of interest to attendees. There are 2 sessions, one each on Friday and Saturday afternoons. Each session will be unique, with different subjects and prizes. With only a cumulative total time allotted of 1.5 hours, we can only quickly cover some ground. If there is further interest outside of the sessions, I would be glad to host an informal get together for sharing info after scheduled convention hours. In particular, if there are other established "woodies" that want to participate, that would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPetry 564 Report post Posted October 28, 2009 Just got back home from Orlando last night. Took a few days R&R after the convention. Thanks to everyone, from the ***** committees and organizers, speakers, the many vendors, and especially the membership for making this first convention an event that was way beyond expectation. In so many ways, this was just a terrific convention. There is no doubt that the ***** is for real. Congratulations to all. My apologies to the 4 or 5 attendees of the wood restoration session #2 that did not receive printed copies of the presentation. I was not expecting a crowd of 30 the 2nd day. Please do not hesitate to shoot me an email and I'll forward you the file in MS Word format. I think I can vouch for most that were in Orlando. "We can't wait until next year!".
