Trying something new. 4 hours instead of 3.
The idea is to bring your lunch and encourage more socialization.
Hope to see you there.

Begin with a simple wooden disk. Make multiple concentric cuts using a repeated profile, simple or complex. Saw the disk into thin wedges, then rearrange the pieces to form a ‘flower’, mask, wings, spiral, or another design. Glue the pieces together to create a unique wall hanging.

Try your hand at spindle turning as an introduction to woodturning. Learn about the lathe, woodturning safety, how to sharpen tools, make a bead & cove stick, and learn how the Learning Center is operated. Class is free. Tools & supplies provided.

Help clean and maintain our Turning Center! Please register on website.

Attendees will learn about deep hollow vessels that can be made from the bottom up. The sequence of cuts to make, the tools to use, the correct way to use the tools, the decoration of the vessels and how to hide the entry hole.

PYRO OPEN SHOP! 6:30 UNTIL 8:30PM!
Bring a project to work on, or a flat piece of wood that you can practice on. If you do not have a pyro unit, there are 5 available to use for the evening. Email Mary Carol Meinken to reserve one. Come prepared to learn and have fun!
The session is open to any OVWG member interested in participating in embellishing their work with pyrography. There will be equipment available if you do not have your own equipment. This is a sharing of knowledge interest group where we learn from one another. If you do not have equipment, it is a good place to learn what is available before purchasing equipment.

Come and learn to turn a finial. Wood selection and design aspects will be covered along with techniques for turning slender spindle work without tailstock support. Students should have prior experience in spindle turning.
