February 17 – FLWT Monthly Meeting and Oriental Box Demonstration by Ralph Mosher

February 17 – FLWT Monthly Meeting and Oriental Box Demonstration by Ralph Mosher

Oriental Box by Ralph Mosher, inspired by Jimmy Clewes

Our meeting on Thursday February 17th begins at 6:30 with informal discussions via Zoom, and the business meeting begins at 7:00pm.  After the meeting, Ralph Mosher will demonstrate making a Jimmy Clewes style Square Oriental Box. This demonstration will include the use of traditional mounting techniques as well as the use of a variety of tools such as the Ellsworth gouge with its swept back grind, the Stuart Batty 40/40 grind, negative rake scraper, and spindle gouge. Hopefully, this demo will inspire other turners to try their hand at making a Jimmy Clewes style Oriental Box.  The pictures above are just a sneak peak of what is to come.  So please join us Thursday evening for this fantastic demo.

Zoom information will be emailed to members a few days in advance of the meeting.
