Dr. Seri Robinson will be our IRD presenter in June. She is the person to follow if you are interested in spalted and figured woods. Unfortunately, our limited demonstration time will only allow her to talk specifically about spalting. Do you know that you can seed and spalt your own wood? This may be something that you will want to try. Search the American Woodturner archive for her articles and videos at www.woodturner.org.

Join us for a fun Women Only Saturday and learn to turn a 12” Cake Stand with base. Each participate will receive 2 sets of maple blanks (top and base) to make the stand and base in class and if time allows to either turn a second stand/base or take home blanks to practice.
This class is geared toward beginner turners but all skill levels are welcome. Lunch will be ordered at a local sandwich shop, please bring cash for lunch.

Lew Kauffman of Chambersburg, PA will demonstrate the Easy Wood Tools. Lew will show us how to use these tools to turn spindle and bowls. Who knows if these tools will scratch the itch for a new tool in your shop.

Elizabeth Weber will present an IRD on her techniques of bowl embellishment. She comes from a civil engineering background and eventually found her way to working with wood and ultimately to turning wood. Elizabeth brings that mathematical eye to her design and texturing of bowls, platters and boxes. She has also developed a woodturner’s eye for color. At our session she will discuss her approach to creating her objects and developing various textures on her work. Note that she was featured on the cover with an in-depth article in the most recent American Woodturner, (February 2024, Volume 39, No. 1, pp. 50-55). AAW members can also view the article on-line at www.woodturner.org.

Tom Huber, a joint club member with Capital Area Woodturners will be our in-person demonstrator. He will show us how turn jewelry. This will be a great primer for turning your holiday gifts.
