Well, January is just about in the books and I see that Punxsutawney Phil will make his winter prediction on Sunday. Our Patriot Turners- @Gerald has been turning more than his favorite Georgia Pecan! Check out what this piece is going to be! @RustyFN received his new double ended bowl gouge! Rusty provided a source in his post- Rusty also gave us a heads-up on a great looking air filtration system from Rikon. Our members liked what they saw and added information on what they were using. Why not share your setup! Thanks, Rusty! @smitty10101 asked a question about turning a specific pattern as an access ring for a segmented turning. We had some detailed responses from our segment specialist. Check out Smitty's post and see if you can provide additional information- We had additions to our "What's OFF" the lathe as well as questions on natural edge bowls. Thanks @BuckeyeHomestead for the pictures and question and to @kreisdorph for awesome answers to the questions- The new comments and images start here- What’s Coming Up- Click on the images for links to more information and registration- For The Newbies- A quick reminder from Carl Jacobson. Safety is paramount! Even the most experienced turners can have things go wrong- Expand Your Horizons- Found this article on various ways to stabilize soft and punky wood.

I was tasked to make a bowl with a decorative ring as below (Greek Key) Just one ring not two. And probably without the horizontal black lines top & bottom. I'm stumped as to how to make the wedge. I get the glue up part but: Where to cut the wedge. Do I need to make one (or more) of the vertical lines thicker to accommodate the saw kerf while making the wedge? what the inner diameter of the bowl will look like would the inner diameter still look like the picture or would it be best just to rip the wedge lengthwise and glue a solid piece for the inner diameter. Basically making the "key" a veneer. Any thoughts or suggestions? TIA smitty
