Embellishments

Next embellishment meeting 7/25
Chris Lawrence

Our next meeting is 7/25 at 7pm. This meeting we are going to start a collaboration swap. Everyone that wants to participate bring an unfinished turning that will fit in an 8x8x8 inch box. It can be anything that can still be embellished. Things like bowls, boxes, hollow forms and platters. You can turn the walls thin to setup for piercing or thicker for carving, burning or painting. The idea is to run it like a pollyanna. Everyone puts there turning on a table then we pick numbers out of a hat. Then everyone picks one in order.

Hi Chris,

This sounds like a fun idea. Will we also do any work at the center that evening, or just shmooze and swap?

I think it would be a good idea to have everyone take a photo of the piece he/she gets before any embellishments and then another photo after embellishments are applied. We could run this as a slide show during a monthly club meeting. What do the rest of th you think about this idea?

Jesse Abraham
I think this is a great idea.

I would think we should leave the tenon or mortise on the piece so if the embellisher wants to remonunt the piece in a chuck, he/she will be able to do so. If anyone disagrees please let me know.
