August Demonstration.
This Wednesday, 8/18/10, Tania Radda from Arizona will present. I have attended a couple of her presentations in the past and they were very interesting.

Below is a link to her website definitely not a mainstream turner! http://www.taniaradda.com/

[Joe Gettys actually will sit in for Nick] The owner of “Hollow Fast/Hold Fast/Sharp Fast/Stick Fast” will also be there to field any questions on the system.

May Demonstration. This Wednesday, 5/19/10, we will host Rudy Lopez from Tampa Florida. Rudy will turn an end grain vase as his demonstration piece. Rudy was at last month’s Southern States Symposium in Gainesville and proved to be an excellent demonstrator!
