This event is focused on presenting opportunities for new turners to learn and practice fundamental skills of woodturning. Each session uses one or more basic tools including the spindle roughing gouge, spindle gouge, parting tool, scraper, and bowl gouge. Over several sessions, turners are exposed to different ways to mount wood on a lathe, roughing to round, and turning consistent beads, coves, Vs, and curves. Over the course of these sessions, basic design elements are introduced and the basics of sanding and finishing are presented.

Tools and materials are supplied. There is no cost for this event but turners must register to attend. Registration is limited to eight (8) turners .

The session is open to any OVWG member interested in participating in embellishing their work with pyrography. There will be equipment available if you do not have your own equipment. This is a sharing of knowledge interest group where we learn from one another. If you do not have equipment, it is a good place to learn what is available before purchasing equipment.
