Spring Turning Fever – So Much Going On

New Mexico Woodturners,
 

Sign up here for the Woodturning Foundations Class

https://forms.gle/CyjFyGiVaZy7MrW26

 
Wow is there a lot going on!  We’ve got a library display coming in July, we’ve got a sunport display coming this fall and we’ve got a turning foundations class coming soon.  You’ll soon see emails and hear about the woodturning foundations class.  Are you new to turning, do your basic skills need a boost?  This class is just for you!
 
The weather for the most part has warmed right up, time to be turning for you and me.  Speaking of turning, have you made a Beads of Courage box yet this year?  Time to get busy, we’ve got the beads and a trailer full of wood at this next meeting.  Do something good for those kids, put a little love and sunshine in their life.
 
Get ready for a great demo.  Do you have cracks in your wood, a break maybe?  Scott Kershaw is going to show us how to fix those right up and make them look good.  Don’t miss out.
 
HEY WHERE ARE YOU ON THESE CHALLENGES?  ANY PROGRESS?
  1. Get involved, your board officers are due replacement at the end of 2024, WE NEED YOU
  2. Beads of Courage boxes, make 2024 the biggest year for NMWT BOC donations
  3. Pens for Troops, this is the year YOU turn 10, 20 or more
  4. Expand and improve your turning, get involved, demo at the fair, attend club meetings and have fun
Want to be more active in NMWT, let us know.  We want you to play a part in what this club does, who this club reaches and advancing turners from every skill level.  Lend a hand, you won’t be sorry.

Repairing Your Turns with Scott Saturday Apr 6th

Breaches and breaks in your bowls? Cracks in your creations? Gaps got your grain grumpy? Voids in your valuable vessels? Come to April’s New Mexico Woodturners demonstrations to see two ways you can repair, revive, remedy or refresh those turnings that have problems. Scott Kershaw will demonstrate how he adds butterfly patches, sometimes called bowties, dutchmans or pewa as well as splines or stitches, to his turnings to enhance defects, repair issues and potentially stabilize the dynamic timber we love to turn that loves to move on us. Scott will show how he starts the second phase of a twice turned bowl or platter. 

See  you at the New Mexico Woodturners meeting 6 Apr, meeting starts at 10.  North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center
