Meeting Information: Saturday, 19 November 2011, 9 AM to 4 PM
John Beaver: How to Make Cut and Re-Assembled Bowls
John's website is at http://www.johnbeaver.net
At Cabrillo Middle School Wood Shop in Ventura
Located near the junction of Main and Santa Clara streets on Santa Clara St.
Note that due to insurance requirements only current AAW members may participate in using the lathes: but everyone can watch and learn.
As noted above in blue, our agreement with the school, and due to the AAW insurance policy that covers our activities, only current members of the AAW will be allowed to use the lathes. Whether or not they plan to turn at this meeting, we strongly suggest that all members of Channel Islands Woodturners join the national AAW for the many benefits including the excellent journal and the annual symposium.

Everyone is
requested to attend the next meeting Saturday November 19, 2011 at Cabrillo
Middle School to vote on the proposed candidates, or present other candidates to
the membership. We will hold the election promptly at 9:00 AM, just before John
Beaver starts his presentation.
Remember
John Beaver’s demo will last all day.
Please bring your own chairs and $35.00.
The Club will have lunch and drinks available.
Some of you
may or not know John’s work has been admired and awarded prizes at many judged
events during the last three years or so.
He has distinguished himself, not only for his “keen eye” while creating
beautifully simple flowing forms, but for his unique technique of incorporating
a “wave” in his bowls and hollow forms.
To the best of my knowledge, this will be the first time John will show a
group how he does “the wave”. If
you can make it, I think you will be in for a treat.
Please notify
RonaldBLindsay@verizon.net , so we can have enough food and drinks for
everyone.
Next month
will be the 10th Holiday Party at Lynn and Al Geller’s.
I am sure all of you who paid the Club’s yearly dues have received an
invitation in the mail. Please RSVP
to Barbara Turner as soon as possible.
The program is very simple but a lot fun; when Lynn says it’s time to
eat, everyone gets to enjoy the Pot Luck.
After dinner we have a show-and-tell.
Soon thereafter those who brought a turning
will draw a raffle ticket to receive a
surprise gift. So turn
something for the show-and-tell,
and turn something for the gift exchange.
