March Demonstration and Meeting Mark Mapes - Multi-Axis Bowl Turning On March 28th, Mark Mapes, NWT member since 2020, will show how he turns a multi-axis bowl. He says "the second axis yields facets in the form, injecting asymmetry into a world dominated by balance and congruity."
Weather permitting, we'll have some wood available in the parking lot before the meeting. Our raffle table will be open so bring a donation if you've got a tool, video, book or other wood related item you no longer use. It's always great to see what people have been creating so share your latest turning at the Members Gallery. For those who may be new, we meet at the Folsom VFW Hall at 1300 Forest St, Folsom, CA |
