Our own Jimmy Rocker presented "Bowls 101'. Jimmy started with an excellent safety review and had a crowbar for us to use if he had any lapses. He then went on to show his method of finishing. Beall buffing system followed by S.C. Johnson paste wax. Jimmy's bowls do look great, I have one to prove it. He demo'd Faceplate, Tenon and Mortice mounting. Using a Vicmark Chuck and the accessory Bowl rings was an interesting part of the Demo. Jimmy graciously donated a Bowl for a drawing and Ralph Thorne Sr. thanks you Jimmy. It takes time to put together a demo and we all appreciate Jimmy stepping up for this one. Fine job, we all thank you. Butch
