This all-day demonstration explores how to push woodturned objects beyond traditional shapes using creative surface design and unconventional turning techniques. Attendees should gain the confidence needed to treat turned wood as a canvas for expressive, original design. Please bring your own lunch! Box Foundations & Alterations: Master well-proportioned, fitted boxes, then transform them through cutting, carving, texturing, and color. These concepts will be shown as applied to other turned forms as well. Irregular Blank Turning: Learn practical strategies for safely mounting, balancing, successfully shaping, and finishing a heart-shaped, wide-rimmed bowl. Surface Design & Embellishment: Explore how to develop concepts via storyboards, using power/hand tools for carving, applying milk paint and acrylics in various ways, and selecting complementary finishes.

Shart Demos and Maker Gift Exchange
Our November meeting will consist of several short demonstrations by some of our members making Christmas themed gifts or ornaments or such.
This will be followed by our annual Maker Gift Exchange. Bring an item of your choice that you have made. We will exchange these with other members via a drawing or lottery system. Everybody gets something new made by one of their cohorts. What a treasure!!!
