At the next OVWG meeting, we are proud to present to you professional turner Stuart Batty. Stuart is a third generation woodturner from Newcastle in Northeast England. Stuart was trained as a production woodturner and has been turning professionally since he was sixteen.

If you want to learn more about Stuart, there is an informative writeup on him at the Carolina Mountain Woodturners site.

This is likely to be a full meeting with standing room only, so you might want to bring a folding chair just in case.
