March Meeting

Our meeting was supposed to be a paid presenter, unfortunately he had technical difficulties and was forced to reschedule. Doug Eaton saved the day by demonstrating a very unique flat square bowl. Thanks Doug. The following pieces were shown off by members of the club.

This was amazing-each successive smaller piece fit inside the larger one.

Yes, you may have guessed it, this is a turned bowling ball.

February Meeting

Member Ron LaRue gave a presentation on Simulated Woven Baskets. I was regrettably, out of the country for this, but I have seen Ron’s work and it something to see. Excellent.

January Meeting

Although Nora and I were not able to attend due to a power outage from the extreme cold, a few brave members endured. Brian, our president, gave a presentation on making and using faceplates. No one submitted any pics of his presentation, but there were pictures of two exhibits submitted. Dave Johnson submitted pics from a piece turned by Jacob Calamia. The piece is turned out of Jarrah and the finial is blackwood. Additionally Patty submited pics of Don Scotts “Globe”. Enjoy the pics.

Awesome segmented globe holder.
