Professor Paul has done it again! If you were late for class or snoozing, You missed a good session. Leroy s morning demo on Icicles and Finials was on point. He makes it look so effortless. It is easy to see why all of Leroy s works are pieces of Art (not craft). Did you remember the project of the month? Our November 14th meeting s morning session will present to us another skilled turner in our midst. Mr. Bill McWhirter will share (some of) his secrets on those fabulous lidded vessels he makes. Don t miss this demo.

Hey - Remember to Bring Wood for the Wood Raffle Wood Source - Aaron Wells wrote: My father and I are turners over here in Live Oak, FL. We come across a lot of domestic woods from tree service businesses in our area. (cherry, sweet gum, maple, magnolia, cedar...) No trees are cut for the purpose of bowl blanks. The trees that are cut would otherwise be burned or buried. We would like to provide your club members with a source of bowl blanks. Here is an example of our price: 8"X4" round blank of cherry is 10.00. All blanks are sealed in paraffin wax. Shipping is always a large expense for turners. For this reason we are offering free delivery with the purchase of at least $1000.00. If this interests you send me your address and I will send a sample blank for you to try out. Thanks, Aaron Wells Live Oak, FL 386.362.3560 / 386.209.3949
