July 10th Club Meeting

Hi everyone,
Next week’s meeting will be focused on learning from each other through an extended Show & Tell session. Bring one or two turned pieces you’ve made recently PLUS any pieces of exotic or highly figured wood to show. We’d like to see a wide variety of wood species and learn from you (or get advice from other members) about the challenges of turning them. Also, if you need help orienting a bowl or other object in a seriously gnarly piece of wood (like I do), bring that too!

Show & Tell

-Turned objects
-Jigs and tools
-Special wood

Bring one or two turned pieces and share a brief description of the wood and finish. If you wish, talk a little about how and why you made it. Don’t feel limited to turned items; any tools or jigs you’ve made are always of interest. 

Your Input Requested on Inviting Rudy Lopez
Every year, we invite a skilled woodturner to our club to conduct a demonstration and workshops. We’ve spoken to a handful of demonstrators and want to gauge your interest in attending a workshop by Rudy Lopez this fall. He’s an excellent woodturner and instructor who demonstrates at clubs all over the United States and at AAW’s Symposium. I’ve attached a list of the workshops he offers and invite you to visit his website at www.rudolphlopez.com. After you look over the material, please REPLY to this email with:

YES if you would attend his workshop AND your Top 2 workshop topics from his flyer
NO if you wouldn’t attend AND your reason(s)
SUGGESTIONS if you have interest in a particular demonstrator and/or topic that you would like us to investigate

Thanks! We really appreciate your ideas. Enjoy America’s Independence Day and we’ll see you next week!
