December meeting will be held as normal, the 4th Tuesday.  Close to Xmas but too difficult to try and get a different day due to Woodcraft store having many clubs and events.  There will be no Show-and-Tell in December meeting, instead the annual Gift Exchange.  Folks wanting to exchange turnings should bring an item they have turned in a plain brown bag.

 

LVW has a number of tables at the Easton YMCA craft show.  A good number of items have been sold.  Submit your turnings to Rick Bryant if you want to participate.

 

 

Perpetual Turning:

This months perpetual turning is a spalted sycamore bowl made by Rick Bryant and won by Rob Kingham.

 

 

Demonstration:

George Geissler demonstrating turning a Trent Bosch style Vessel Of Illusion.  A challenging project.

 

Show and Tell:

Ernie Donovan made an urn from curly maple and walnut.  Some discussion about how to determine the volume of an urn.  It seems the rule-of-thumb is 1 in3 of internal volume per 1 lb of the persons live weight.  Interesting.
