Gail Brooks - Pyrography


At our February meeting Gail Brooks gave a wonderful talk about the different ways you can use Pyrography to embellish your woodturnings.  It was a standing room only crowd and everyone learned something new.  Gail shared her vast knowledge of the various tools that can be used, from simple wood burners to special pencils that are activated by a heat gun. We are very proud to have Gail as a member of our club.


           


Cindy Drozda Demonstration


Instead of an in person meeting for January we invited Cindy Drozda to show us how she makes her Finial Star lidded bowl. Cindy is a fantastic demonstrator. She explains things very well and has excellent auido/visual equipment. Unfortunately Cindy does not record her demos but she did give us some handouts.  If you'd like to check them out click on the links:  Diagram of the piece; step-by-step instructions; supplies and tool list.  You can sign up on her website for free demos every other Friday at cindydrozda.com or check out videos she has made.


              



Who we are:

 

Nor-Cal Woodturners is dedicated to promoting the art of woodturning.  We would be happy to meet with any organization or school that would like to learn more about this age old craft. If you have any questions write to information@norcallwoodturners.org


Nor-Cal Woodturners is a non-profit organization  of woodturning enthusiasts from the greater Sacramento, California area. Our membership ranges from the novice to the seasoned woodturning professional.

 

Our mission is to foster an appreciation of the traditions and art of Woodturning. We do this by sharing our experiences, techniques and the turnings we produce with each other and the public.

 

Whether it's through our Youth Training Program, the Mentor program, club-sponsored day long turning events with nationally and internationally famous woodturners, our extensive library of books, tapes and DVDs or our monthly meetings, there is something for everyone.

 

The club meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month (except in November and December).
