Future Monthly Demonstrations
Jimmy Sapp demonstrating turning a five point star between centers at the November Club meeting. This is a daunting achievement even for an accomplished turner. Jimmy is well known for doing the seemingly impossible on the lathe.
The Club appreciates Jimmy long involement in sharing his new turning techniques and projects with the members. Jimmy was the first person to turn a corncob pen. Today several woodturning supply companies provide colored corncobs for turners.
Next Meeting
The next Club meeting is on January 14th at the Bell Community Center on Hwy 129 in Bell, Florida. The meeting starts at 7:00 PM and is open to the public.
