    Default Melb weekday turners meet 21st Oct

    Thursday 21st. 11am.

    Focus will be bowl turning, starting from taking a log, blocking it down and green turning. We'll have some gouges and hollowing tools for you to try (GJ, if you can make it, would you bring your Munro?)

    We'll use a lump of English Elm. Has spekky cream sapwood and chocolate heartwood. There may be enough for folk to take a blank home depending on numbers.

    BYOG and barbie meat.

    Forum members only.

    Email me for RSVP and address at rsser at westnet dot com dot au
    Cheers, Ern

    Ahh,
    Can't make it unfortunately due to being too young to be a man of leasure. However, if it was possible for someone to take some pictures of the process of getting the best bowl blanks out of a piece of log, that would be much appreciated by me and maybe some others on the forum who can't make it......

    Cheers,

    FrankG

    Goodo. Now Hughie or Cliff posted a while ago with an attachment showing the grain effect of different blank orientations in a log. I saved the attachment but am having trouble finding it - doh

    Edit: got it.

    Peter, could you bring your Bedan along if you're willing to give us a bit of a demo?
