Next Monthly Meeting
Turn a Heart on the Lathe
“I will create a heart-shaped bud vase via multi-axis turning. This is a fun demonstration that involves face grain and end grain turning, interrupted cuts, design considerations, and a variety of tools. I will also discuss different base/stand options.”
Michael lives in Chattanooga, TN, and works as a biology professor at a local community college. He has a wife, two young boys, a dog, and several cats. Michael primarily alternates between turning bowls and sculptural pieces, and is a member of the Tri State Woodturners.
