Turning Classes (17)
January 14th was our first turners meeting at Peachtree Woodworking Supply. Twenty Five members attended our kickoff event. Our own Jack Morse had the honor and did a great presentation. In time for Valentines Day he did a Bud Vase with Attitude. After drilling the blank for the glass tube he then had Scrolled Hearts in the sides and as he turned the sides he added texturing to add a Wow factor. Of course knowing Jack the Base held his always present "Lidded Box". Outstanding and enjoyed by all.
Next Turners meeting we will have our Raffle so bring items. Our ComeBack box is ready for the next winner.
Last our AAW Banner should be presented at the Classroom so whoever has it please bring it next meeting.

In our tips section, Jimmy Stripling educated us about paulownia wood and Tommy Roland shared his formula for making your own green wood sealer from candle wax.
Jim Myrick was our instructor this week. His topic was turning long stem goblets. While Jim has plenty of experience with woodturning, he is new to turning long stem goblets. And, yet he did an excellent job covering the basic strategy of using a steady rest and turning in the correct sequence. Jim showed several examples of long stem goblets he turned from box elder and apple.
Thanks Jim for an excellent class.
