Last Wednesday in September! Where did the month go?!?!?

 

 

Our Patriot Turners-

He tells us about the wood and his plan for drying, in his post-

 

 

Forty also had a bit of a problem with a tenon on a bowl blank. He explained what he did to remedy the situation-

 

 

@Ron Altier continues to experiment with new ways to embellish his Christmas ornaments-

 

Ron tells us what he used and where to purchase it, in this post-

Expand Your Horizons-

Turning a pen is a quick and easy way to make nice gift. If you do craft shows, maybe pens can expand your inventory. A video from the AAW-

 

 

Alan Stratton added another video on turning a scoop. This one demonstrates an easier method than the others we have posted-

Safe turning

Some good looking videos to view again this week.  Thanks for bringing to us.  Scoops are always intriguing because there are so many design opportunities yet I have never tried turning one.  May have to give it a try since the weather is turning and more time may be spent indoors.

Thanks Lew
