Future Monthly Demonstrations

He turned a number of different small turnings. He started showing the members the Wagner texturing tool and the unique styles available depending on being at center, below center of above center on end grain. He also turned a top from scrap pieces of wood and dowel rod. His final project was a wood sewing thimble. He did not demonstrate how to use the thimble because it was to small for his fingers. Gary is an experienced demonstrator and kept the members entertained with his woodturning knowledge, whit, and humor. It is always a pleasure what Gary turn and his home spun tails.
