Our October meeting was held on Monday, October 4th at the Peters Valley wood studio.
Dennis Fuge Demo
This month, noted woodturner and Peters Valley instructor Dennis Fuge gave a demonstration which he calls: “Decorative Platters and Finishes on Turned Items”. Dennis is a very experienced turner with a highly accomplished skillset.
Turnout was unfortunately low due to the inclement weather, but those who were able to make the meeting, we were treated to an outstanding three hour journey, filled with a variety of embellishment methods, including the use of pewter; ebonizing; sliced black walnut inlays; and egg shells as well as tips and tricks.
Dennis is a wonderful teacher with whimsical, yet substantive style. He also provided us with a “hand-out” containing resources for a huge variety of materials, tools, finishes and craft supplies. Thanks again to Dennis, for a great night.
