History of the Ornamental Turning, including a Tour of the New Museum in Port Chester, NY 
with Jeffrey Cheramie

Live Via Zoom from Museum
Sponsored by the Woodworking SIG

Picture

Picture
Ornamental turning generally involves using a Rose Engine lathe to create very decorative designs on a piece of wood.  There is a new museum - the Plumier Foundation -  dedicated to ornamental turning and the rose engine lathes in Port Chester, NY, east of New York City.  Our member, Jeffrey Cheramie, is working with them to develop a set of video programs for the museum and its website. 
     During this session, Jeffrey will explore the very interesting history of the ornamental turning and how it came to be with rising up through the ranks of Kings and Queen starting back in the 16th century through the modern times. There will be pictures of items that can be turned on the ornamental lathes, pictures of the lathes, and a tour of the Plumier Foundation. You will see one of the most expensive lathes ever purchased on auction, and even some items made out if ivory.  There is a connection between Ornamental Turning and NYS and Jeffrey will talk about it.  So if you are interested in learning a bit about ornamental turning and the Plumier Foundation, then stop by for the presentation on July 6.   
      Unfortunately, this will not be a “how to” presentation, but if the membership would like there can be a separate how to presentation later in the year at some other time. 

      Jeffrey will present this demo remotely from the Museum via Zoom.  This will allow you to enjoy the demo from your home with your favorite adult beverage or snack.  The Zoom link will be sent to members a couple days before the event.  If you want to attend and are not a member, please send a request to woodcny@gmail.com. 
     At the end of the demo, we will hold a virtual Show & Tell session. So send photos of your projects via email to woodcny@gmail.com prior to 3pm on Wednesday, July 6th (earlier if possible).  We'll add them to the PowerPoint slides so everyone else can see them.
