Coring meeting

Paul, Wayne, Rick, Dan Omoto (guest), Chris, J Hiltz, J MacLean, Mike, Wilson, Lawrence, Robert

We discussed the birdseye bowl project again.
We have eight large blanks.
The total cost of the log was $250.00.
Paul invited members to speak for a blank and Leo suggested that those who want one must do the coring procedure.
The cost per blank would be $32.00. This should yield three good bowl blanks.

The result was :

Paul-1blank
J Hiltz-2 blanks
Rick-1 blank
Lawrence-1 blank
Leo-2 blanks
Chris-1 blank

Paul discussed Norm Smiths wood, which is for sale @ $250.00
This includes a good supply of wood including burls, boards, logs and is well worth the cash (according to Paul). We had at least four takers who will by and divide the wood.
Paul will purchase the wood and we will divide it up as need be.


Leo went over the layout for doing the coring procedure on the large bowls.
One has to measure the diameter and depth of the bowl to begin with.
Then, lay out a drawing on large cardboard and trace the arcs needed to core out concentric bowls in order to get usable material.

Leo expects everyone who has a blank to do this drawing for next meeting.

Rick announced that we will have a business meeting next Tuesday evening to cover
