Congratulations to the Winners We had a lot of great entries in our October President's Challenge. As you recall, the challenge was pretty easy, just turn something that has the letter "S" in it. Our member's were really creative, all were great, but the winners are: 1st Place: Rollie Bowns - a Segmented Starred Sphere on a Stand; 2nd Place: Robert Verhies- Segmented Sphere; 3rd Place: Mike Newlin - Walnut Sphere. Click on the photos above to get a closer view. If you'd like to see all the entries check out this video. Turning a Camper's Cup
At our October demo Dave Landers turned a Kuksa (or Guksi). It is a Scandinavian drinking cup for outdoorsmen, traditionally carved from birch burl by its owner. In this demo, Dave shows his woodturners version of a Kuksa: a multi-axis turned cup. To view the recording of the demo click here.
Turning Green Wood with Norm Hinman
At our September member's meeting Norm Hinman shared his many years of experience roughing out bowl blanks. Norm has turned thousands of bowls. He said he has about 1600 roughed out bowls drying in his shop! Mark Mapes, Chris Smith and Don Brice video taped Norm, then Mark did a great job editing it. After showing the video of Norm turning he answered questions live on our Zoom meeting. Click Here to see the recording of the meeting. |
