It will be a "bring a dish to pass event". If you are unsure what to bring, call Cyndy (my wife) at 304-877-2008. We will have hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill along with chips, drinks and other goodies. If you would like to bring something different like steak, chicken, buffalo, alligator or snake, please feel free to do so, we will make room on the grill for you. If anyone has any special needs please let us know, we want everyone to enjoy themselves.

We will have a table set up in my shop for members to display some of the beautiful works of art they have turned so the wives can see what we do. If you would like to stay around after the BBQ and do some turning you are more than welcome to do so. The BBQ will be held come rain or shine. Come early, stay late or just stop in to say hi. We look forward to seeing everyone on Saturday Aug 28th.

The 1st and 3rd Tuesday, 4 pm to 9 pm, we've a turning session at my place in Lewisburg and all Club members are invited. There are five lathes so bring a project and share your concepts with others.

There's a lot of that Club walnut you might want to work with.

Please let me know in advance if you'll be coming and if you need directions.

We had a great January meeting! Thank you, Jim! If you'd like to see photos from the meeting, visit our "Event Photos" page, or click here for a nice write-up about the demonstration.

February's demonstration was cancelled due to dangerous travelling weather, so the scheduled demonstration was moved back to March.

The last monthly meeting was a great demonstration conducted by Rodney LehrBass on the "McNaughton" coring system, and Harry Newman on the "One Way" coring system. There will be a writeup about the demonstration posted soon.

We had our bi-annual Wood and Tool Auction, which was a great success! We also had a brief demonstration on photographing your products before the auction. The demonstration was conducted by Angie LehrBass, and included useful information on how to make good photos without having all the special photographic equipment.

Byron Young, from Mountain Woodturners, gave us a really nice demonstration on turning lidded boxes, as well as bird houses, toothpicks, and tiny spinning tops. Great job Byron!

Harry and Cindy ventured up to Connecticut to attend the annual AAW Symposium. The June meeting was a review of all the things they saw at the symposium, along with Harry's fabulous slideshow. All who attended were inspired, as they saw what other turners around the country are creating! Be sure to plan on attending the AAW Symposium next year!

Harry covered the basic techniques for making pens using wood, acrylic, and different mediums. He also covered finishing, kits, and ordering.
