Another great meeting this month.
I have to pat myself on the back for donating a few pieces of Russian Olive to the raffle table. Many members commented on the pieces. I found it useful to listen in and get ideas of how it turns, how it reacts and what safety measures need to be taken with it. One of our members has an allergy to the wood.
Thanks to Taylor Ledden for the presentation on turning footed bowls. His demonstration used Spalted Maple to make a 2-piece winged bowl. One piece was turned to be the upper bowl and a second piece was turned to be the foot. The upper bowl has a recess in it’s “bottom” and the lower piece has a tenon in it’s “top”. The two are then glued together giving the upper bowl it’s foot.

An enjoyable evening was had by all in attendance
