Meeting agenda:

Welcome Bob Zrebiec – President

Show and Tell

Show and Tell is the part of the program where our members get to show off their work. They bring in turnings they have completed or are working on and discuss design, techniques, materials, finishing, etc. There is always something to learn at these sessions and you will be amazed and inspired by what our members make. 

Doug Davis will demonstrate “Making Finials”

A group of four vases and bowls on display.

Doug is a member of the Keystone Woodturners.  He have been making ornaments and urns with long, perfectly shaped finials for several years.  He has develop a technique for making long finials that look delicate but are strong and can withstand many years of use.  Doug will discuss choosing the correct wood for a finial, mounting the wood on a chuck, and how to get the smallest end without breaking the finial. 

Raffle  

Club members bring in their spare wood and surplus tools, donate them to the Club and give other members the chance to put them to use while increasing our Club Treasury. Guests may participate in the raffle.
