Turbinator

The latest to come from Larry Wood, the "Turbinator", is new for 2015!
Although not yet available in store, the new casting was previewed at the recent 2014 28th HWNL Convention in LA.
Larry featured the new model in his presentation for the "Time with a Designer" seminar where he showed off a series of
his design conceptual drawings, giving us a great example of how the new design comes to life.
