Founded on April 21st, 1994 the South Puget Sound Woodturners is in the top 10 clubs in the American Association of Woodturners (AAW).
Our members range from beginner to internationally acclaimed professionals. Our interests range from penmaking to bowls, turned ornaments to hollow vessels, spindles to platters.
Attend our monthly membership meetings and you will find demonstrations on material selection, tool usage, segmenting, wood coloring, ebonizing, and lots of turning techniques.
Twice a year we have a mini-symposium where members demonstrate anything you could imagine.
Another great benefit for our members is our “Sawdust Sessions”. This is a hands on session with mentors from the club. This is an amazing one-on-one opportunity to improve your turning skills.
There are so many more benefits and learning opportunities to membership in the South Puget Sound Woodturners. Come and visit our next meeting and see what turning is all about!
On January 21st, we are honored to again host Lyle Jamieson, who was our very first remote demonstrator last April. We were very happy to have chosen Lyle as our first remote demonstrator because, in addition to being a great teacher, he also helped us to work through the process of getting set up to utilize the Zoom Meetings platform.
During this presentation, Lyle will show us how to make a bowl “bigger than the piece of wood you start with.” This is often called a “winged bowl”. It is an interesting project, and one that builds skills for any woodturner.
If you are paid up as an active member, look for the meeting invitation in your inbox on January 16th, and a meeting reminder on Wednesday January 20th. Then please join us all between 6:30 and 7:00 on Thursday the 21st for Lyle’s remote demonstration.
Many turners have turning related items on their Christmas wish list, from tools to wood to even a new lathe. Tell us what you got this year for Christmas.
SPSW members, check your email for the information on how to access the recording of the IRD demo Trent Bosch gave us last Thursday. This recording will only be up for a limited time so make sure to view it soon.
