Come enjoy our Annual Club Auction, our primary fundraiser for the year. This is how we are able to bring in national and world known turners for demonstrations and training classes.
This is also a great opportunity to get some deals on beautiful wood, gorgeous finished pieces by members and/or demonstrators, tools, supplies and more. On top of that, we have a great time with jokes and jabber. Come enjoy!
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. 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.
