   Woodcraft - Alpharetta
 |
Joe Gettys will be our demonstrator. Joe is no stranger to us in the Atlanta area. His skill on the lathe and his humorous wit makes for an entertaining demo. Joe will demonstrate turning a bowl using the Easy Wood Tools Carbide scrapers. If time permits, expect to see a Xmas ornament as well.
BOARD MINUTES May 2010 The scheduled board meeting for the Atlanta Woodturning Guild met with quorum in place and was called to order by the President Kurt Whitley 19 May 2010. The Secretary was absent for this meeting and brief notes were taken by the President Kurt Whitley and compiled by the Secretary at a later date. Guild members brought in a nice variety of turnings this month. Mike Peace won the President’s Challenge with his maple bowl for the nicest turning without the benefit of sandpaper! Thanks to Denis Delehanty and Oliver Buettner for taking the great pictures! And if you want to see a larger picture of the turnings, just “click” on the thumbnail image below.

He kept everyone on the edge of their seats overtime! Here is the handout Rudy provided us and a couple links he referenced during the demonstration. Thanks Rudy!
Rudy Lopez from Tampa, Florida will demonstrate an end grain vase. He began working with his hands at a very young age and began to develop his creative eye through photography, his first artistic pursuit. With an education in drafting and design, and drawing inspiration from the surroundings of his youth, Rudy began his relationship with wood as a craftsman of fine furniture and cabinetry. His desire to explore wood-turning began to develop when he received a natural-edge bowl as a Christmas gift from his best friend a couple of years ago. His natural sense of curiosity has led him to explore the techniques necessary to transform wood from a simple rough chunk into an object of aesthetic beauty. Rudy’s pieces have been featured in the "Rounding The Four Corners" exhibit 2008, and "Restful Places-Cremation Urns and Objects" 2009, at the AAW Gallery of Wood Art in St. Paul, Minnesota.
