Monthly Club Challenge Information & Discussions

March’s challenge is to turn flowers. But one is not enough. Three is the magic number, but you can make more if you like. But since floral arrangements contain different types of flowers, yours should as well. If you are really ambitious, you may want to turn a vase or weed pot to hold your flowers. Or you could use the flat sided vase you made for last June’s club challenge. 

I've also attached 2 articles on making flowers from AAW's Woodturner magazine.

Here is a photo of some really beautiful flowers turned by Danielle Barbaer who serves on Mid Atlantic Turning Symposium's Board. I took this photo in the Instant Gallery last year.

I forget the type of wood Danielle said she used, but there is a certain type that is better than others for this.
