Meeting November 1, 2023
Our November meeting was a different format from our regular meetings.
One of the founders of our club, Harvey Fein, had a gallery exhibition of samples of his incredible body of work at the Peters Valley Sally D Fransisco Galley. Harvey also had a feature article about his work in the American Association of Woodturners in the October 2023 issue of American Woodturner. Our club met at the gallery at 5:00 PM
Meeting attendees were: Steve Ackmann, Rick Wortman, Jack Delaney, Carol Paster, Jim Cerra, Joe Kopec, Dave Robinson, Scott Hendricks, Mark Wallace and Patty Jennings. Special guest was Harvey Fein who talks about some of his works and his process.
After our session with Harvey we adjourned to the Peters Valley Wood Studio at around 6:00PM for our regular meeting.
Rick Reported our checking account balance remains the same as previously reported, however, that is a large improvement for us at this point in the year.
Show and Tell: this will be updated
For our demonstration this month, our member, Scott Hendricks, did a presentation on turning with Cork. Scott had taken a weekend course on cork turning and put together a PowerPoint presentation that talked about the cork product and how it’s made, and showed pictures of some of the pieces he and other class attendees made during the course.
Scott also brought several pieces he made with the material at the class and at home with additional cork material he acquired from the instructor.
Many thanks to Scott for a great presentation and for showing us a new medium that has interesting possiblities.
