Thank You Mike Mahoney


Once again Mike Mahoney volunteered to demonstrate at our club meeting.  Mike talked about the different types of Oaks, where and when you would use them.  He made a beautiful platter (even with some equipment problems from our club's lathe).  Mike talked about how to cut the blank from the log, how he mounts them (tenon, not recess) and more.  It was a great evening.


      




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).
