Nor-Cal Woodturners

August Membership Meeting


Mike Mahoney joined us again to demonstrate at our August meeting. 

He shared with us how he cores a bowl with the McNaughton Center Saver, then turned  a thin walled, calabash style bowl.  He made the final cuts using a cabinet scraper to get it super thin.  Members can

see the video of the demo in our Members Only section of this website (once you've logged in).  Photos are in the September newsletter.


July Membership Meeting


At our July meeting Leanna Pierson showed us how she turns a Birdhouse Ornament.  We really appreciate it when members of our club step up and share their knowledge. Thanks so much Leanna!!






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).
