Our February demonstrator is none other than Jay Shepard. Jay will present and demonstrate the finishing processes and techniques he uses to create his beautiful works. In May of 2024, Jay was one of the selected few to demonstrate at the AAW 2024, International Woodturning Symposium held in Portland, OR.
Jay is a long-time member of Woodturners of Olympia (WoO). His woodturning journey began in 2013 when he desired something other than square legs for a table that he was making. To enable that desire, he purchased a 1939 Delta lathe and quickly sought out somewhere to learn the basics. He connected with Larry Miller from WoO and attended an open shop. Jay found that turning those first table legs FUN! He never turned back, and he never finished that table.
We also have a President’s Challenge this month. You can find the details in this month’s newsletter.
