Turning an End Grain Box – Mike Kuterbach
Keystone member, Mike Kuterbach will demonstrate turning an end grain box. A box is a great project for those who have mastered “bumps on a stick”. It requires a minimal number of tools – roughing gouge, spindle gouge, parting tool and a round nose scraper. Mike will cover wood selection, design considerations, shaping the outside, hollowing the inside and fitting the lid. He will also show a quick and easy finish for small projects. Mike is a fabulous demonstrator, Even experienced turners will pick up some tricks from Mike’s demo.
