MARCH 2020 FINGER LAKES WOODTURNERS MEETING
CANCELLED and replaced with online demonstration.
Our next meeting for 2020 will be on Thursday March 19, and it will feature Phil Rose who will be discussing design and turning of 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 lead an interactive design conversation around 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.
We will begin the meeting as usual by gathering between 5:30 and 6 pm for setting up the room, followed at 6 pm by Show and Share, and general discussions and interactions, and a brief business/info session.
