December 2020 FLWT IRD and Meeting
Our meeting on Thursday December 17 begins at 7:00pm and we will feature Rudy Lopez via remote demonstration. Rudy demonstrate how he turns a thin natural edge wing bowl from a green log or crotch section. Design and layout considerations regarding limb orientation, crotch figure, keeping or eliminating features or flaws in the wood will be covered. The basics of bevel-supported cuts along with two of the most important fundamentals of turning - sharp tools and good tool control will be emphasized. Turning thin allows the wood to warp and move which influences the final piece and helps avoid cracking.

Zoom meeting information will be emailed to current members a few days ahead of the meeting date.
