Meeting: Southern Woodturners

  • Clearwater Arts Center & Studios 223 Crowell Drive Northwest Concord, NC, 28025 United States (map)

Southern Piedmont Woodturners Invite you to enjoy an evening with Ric Erkes, Demonstrator at their Monthly Meeting here at ClearWater Arts!

First attendance is free if you aren’t a member!

Time is running out!  Love seeing bark on the rim of a bowl?  If so, it is best to turn that natural edge bowl before the sap starts flowing again.  This month Ric Erkes will demonstrate just how to do that.  Ric has been turning for over 20 years and has a wealth of knowledge to share.  He’ll start with preparing the log, then safely mounting it to get the proper visual balance, bowl gouge usage to get a flowing form, and on to sanding techniques.  Ric will finish by showing how he elevates the bowl by adding toes!  Please see photos below of Ric’s work.

Social hour at 6:00pm

“Show and Share will be held afterwards, so let us all see what you’ve been turning.”

Meetings are being held in-person, but also continuing to share on Zoom! Please let the club know if you’re a first-time attendee.
