We look forward to seeing you on the 26th, especially those of you we met at the 2012 ARTSFEST on Walnut Street.

Have a question? Need Advice?

We have help. Threee of the more "veteran" members of the club have offered to share thier knowledge and suggestions to those wishing to improve their woodturning skills. Ernest "Doc" Lorenc, Bob Bezanson and Don Carlson are available at most meetings to help you move to the level you want to be at.

If you would like them to look at a piece you have done or are in the process of working on, bring it to the meeting. All three of them are very approchable and would be glad to talk with you about it.
