December Meeting/Potluck
Here are the potluck food assignments and raffle outline for the Christmas Party:
Potluck Assignments:
A-G Salad or Side Dish
H-O Dessert
P-Z Main Dish
Raffle Outline:
1. Everyone in attendance gets one ticket for the wood lot and one raffle ticket for the
general prize raffle.
2. Additional prize drawings will be conducted for those who have submitted raffle
tickets with your name – in the tin for helping at meetings.
3. Gift Exchange – If you brought something for the gift exchange, please put it on the
gift exchange table and get a ticket from the bowl, make sure you leave one half for your
drawing time. We encourage you to bring a turned piece (made by you), but that is not
a requirement, many of you have multiple talents that you would like to share.
November Demo – John Howard – Square Edged Bowl
Once a new turner has developed the ability to turn a basic bowl, they are often looking for new ways to do something a little different to enhance the basic bowl form whether through the shape of the turning, adding decoration, or surface texture. This month’s demonstration will focus on a form commonly referred to as a “winged bowl.”
Our current Store Sales guy and past SPSW President, John Howard, will demonstrate how to turn a bowl with a lateral wing extending away from the body of the bowl.
September Meeting – Mini Symposium
This month is the second of two mini-symposiums for the year. The line up includes:
Don Mars demonstrating inside out turning;
- Justin Parson demonstrating pen turning;
Kathy Garlick selling at the club store;
- Doug Reynolds showing Kintsugi For Woodturners: Make it a Feature NOT a Flaw!;
Pat McCart showing sharpening;
John Howard demonstrating turning tool handles;
Jimmie Allen demonstrating the D-Way beading tools and selling his D-Way and BoxMaster tools.
