Repairing Your Turns with Scott Saturday Apr 6th
Breaches and breaks in your bowls? Cracks in your creations? Gaps got your grain grumpy? Voids in your valuable vessels? Come to April’s New Mexico Woodturners demonstrations to see two ways you can repair, revive, remedy or refresh those turnings that have problems. Scott Kershaw will demonstrate how he adds butterfly patches, sometimes called bowties, dutchmans or pewa as well as splines or stitches, to his turnings to enhance defects, repair issues and potentially stabilize the dynamic timber we love to turn that loves to move on us. Scott will show how he starts the second phase of a twice turned bowl or platter.
See you at the New Mexico Woodturners meeting 6 Apr, meeting starts at 10. North Domingo Baca Multigenerational Center
