      This session will be available as a hybrid session (both in-person and via Zoom). Come early to sign-in your Show & Tell and Monthly Challenge projects and to chat with fellow woodworkers. The Monthly Challenge is an apple based on Dave Grant's April demonstration. 
   
Don't have your projects as they were gifts or you have Show & Tell that can't easily be transported?  Send photos and descriptions ahead of time so they can be added to our slide show.  Send an email with photos and a short description to [email protected] by 3pm on May 12th to be included in the slide show.

     Guests are always welcome at no fee.  Just sign-in at the front desk and mingle with others. We look forward to seeing everyone, hearing about your woodworking escapades, and seeing your recent projects.

Club Workshop - All Members Welcome!
Turning,  Carving, etc., Wood & Consumable Purchases, 
etc. !
Held at Eight Acres Event Center
Plan to join other members at the Saturday Workshop on Saturday, May 16th at the Eight Acres Event Center!  All members are invited to attend to turn, interact with other members, learn, purchase wood and consumables, or to just chat.  Members are sent an email to remind them and provide the address 1-2 days before workshop day. We ask that you pre-register.  We look forward to seeing you!  We expect to have the doors wide open and all the carvers will set up outside.
NOTE:  This is a private home so access to the address is limited.  Members are provided the address.  Others must ask and prove they are indeed a woodworker not a spam-request.

NOTE:   Guests are welcome but if they want to do any hands-on work (like turn) there is a $5 one-day membership fee. If the guest joins the club within one month, that $5 fee is deducted from their membership fee.

    We will have Show & Tell after the guys demionstrate talk, so bring whatever you want to show.  For the Turners, there will also be our Monthly Challenge - a heart-shaped ring holder based on Rod Castle's May demonstration.  Come early to sign in your projects, chat with others, and have coffee & treats! 
     Don't have your projects as they were gifts or you have Show & Tell that can't easily be transported? Send photos and descriptions ahead of time so they can be added to our slide show.  Send an email with photos and a short description to [email protected] by 3pm on June 17th to be included in the slide show. 
      Guests are always welcome at no fee.  Just sign-in at the front desk and mingle with others. We look forward to seeing everyone, hearing about your woodworking escapades, and seeing your recent projects.
