New Season

Miles, Paul, Rick and Jim Hiltz were present

Leo has almost perfected his bowl making jig and using this, we spent the evening turning down the Accacia bowl blanks that we had prepared last week.

The wood is spectacular in grain..a beautiful yellow/green colour.

The mechanism Leo has designed makes it a pleasure to turn the rough blank into a beautiful shape.

We will likely spend the next few sessions doing these.

We were pondering the idea of a session on basic metal lathe technique and will try to get the Professor to consider this.
