Several Club members are available to serve as mentors in their specific areas of ineterest.
Segmented Turning
Jim Meyer often turns segmented objects and is available to help other Club members learn how to design segmented turnings, cut and assemble the individual segments, and carry out the turning. Because of the saws, sanders, jigs and clamps necessary to prepare the segmented blanks, mentoring sessions take place in his shop in Athens. Email Jim for further information
Natural Edge Bowls and Unusual Wood
Cliff Baker enjoys turning natural edge bowls and also vases and bowls made from unusual pieces of wood. Many turners are reluctant to use wood with knot holes, rotten areas, cracks, and branches, but they often yield very unusual and beautful objects. The wood also challenges the turner to imagine what the wood might hold, how to best utilize the features of the wood, how to lay out the blank, and how to chuck it securely so the piece may be turned safely. Mentoring sessions can be held in Cliff's shop in Lewisburg,at Latehes and Lasagna sessions at Bill Sproul's shop in Leiwburg, or after monthly meetings at Gerald Chandler's shop in Crawley. Email Cliff for further information.
