April Demonstrator – Note Meeting Date and Time
For April we are excited to present Glenn Lucas live from his Woodturning Study Center. Please note:
From Glenn’s website:
I’ve been turning wood since 1990. Starting as a production turner I worked to produce both classic-functional and one-off artistic pieces for homes and collections. Over the years I have been fortunate to learn from some of the most respected masters of my craft and I’m privileged to be able to pass that knowledge on.
At my Woodturning Study Centre in Co. Carlow, Ireland I teach all levels of ability in group classes and one-to-one tuition. Travelling the world for demonstrations and classes in woodturning, you can also watch me turn in your own workshop with my ‘Mastering Woodturning’ series of DVDs and downloadable videos. My website can be used to book classes, buy woodturning tools and DVDs, or purchases of my bowls. Send me your email and I will add you to my newsy ezine and we will keep in touch!
Newsletter e-Delivery
If you are signed up to receive our monthly newsletter, the Chips and Shavings, and you are using a Comcast email address we have been having issues for some time with delivery. This is the response from the email system when the newsletter goes out:
“all hosts for ‘comcast.net’ have been failing for a long time (and retry time not reached)”.
We also have issues with any email provided by Microsoft – hotmail, MSN, etc. as their spam filters are extremely tight.
If you are signed up for the newsletter with any of these providers you may want to try gmail as we seem to have the best delivery success there.
February Membership Meeting
KND Woodworking is a small business operated out of the home of Dan and his wife Kate. They live along the Puyallup River in unincorporated Pierce County just off the Bonney Lake plateau. They started their business in 2007 and over the past 15+ years they have sold Dan’s work primarily at area farmers markets and local art and craft shows. The Neyens’ have both been involved with wood and wood products most of their working careers. Dan majored in Forestry and Wood Technology in college and then spent his working years in the structural wood products field. Kate worked in accounting and information technology her entire career for two of the nation’s largest wood products and structural wood products manufacturers.
Over the years Dan has made and sold a variety of home furnishings but now primarily focuses his efforts on making wooden cutting boards and a variety of kitchen furnishings/utensils. Today, most of their sales come through annual participation in five area juried art and craft shows.
