Due to the travel and meeting restrictions, the FLWT meeting planned for Thursday May 21 will be replaced by an interactive remote demo (aka IRD) delivered by Phil Rose who will discuss and demonstrate turning burls – natural edge and other forms. He will show some examples of burls that have been turned by himself and other turners. Then, Phil will take a specific piece of burl and discuss options to turn that piece, develop a general direction, and then turn the piece. Along the way he will demonstrate some beginner and advanced techniques around turning a natural edge burl, discuss different methods of holding the burl on the lathe, and complete the final design on the lathe.

Information about getting connected to the IRD session will be sent to current members of FLWT a few days in advance of the meeting.

If you did not connect to previous online meetings, or you had problems connecting, please email us and we will set up a time ahead of the meeting to help you get set up with Zoom conferencing on your computer or other device at home.

The link for the meeting on May 21 will open at 7:00 PM, and the demonstration will start at 7:30 PM.
