August Meeting, Wednesday, August 16, 2017 @ 7:00PM

This Month’s Agenda:

Welcome by Bob Zrebeic,  President, Keystone Woodturners…brief notes of interest to all members.

Demonstration:  Harry Pye,”Turning a Goblet”

A group of four vases and bowls on display.

Harry is and always has been a very active member of the Keystone Woodturners.  He’s  an accomplished turner and, over the years, has conducted many demonstrations for both Keystone and the Lehigh Valley Club.  We always come away with valuable tips and techniques from Harry’s demos and his goblet demo  should be no exception.

Show and Tell
Bring in your latest turned item and tell the members about it.  Wood type, finish, and any challenges you had with the piece are of interest to us all.  We all enjoy hearing about our members’ turned items. And seeing what you’ve accompished often gives us ideas to try ourselves.

Raffle
Have something that you no longer need, use or that’s just cluttering up your shop or maybe your liquor cabinet?   Bring it in for the raffle!  Surely, someone will see its value just the way you once did.   Remember, the raffle provides major funding for our club with the money it raises!
