We had two different events going on, firstly we had Terry and his wife from Chestnut products along to give a demonstration of their finishing products. Using some wooden cylinders on the lathe he showed us how to seal and polish them to a very high standard. He covered most of the products that woodturners would use either by actual demonstration or verbally. This was very informative and sorted out some of the problems I have been having along with those of other members.
We also had Bill & Cilla from Cambridge blanks along with another very good selection of native timbers. Once again a number of us were tempted into parting with some money for some excellent bargains.
Having the two things going on has proved to be a bit awkward so we are planning it differently for next year.
After the demonstration was over some of the members used the equipment to do some turning. Adam, one of the new junior members, turned a very nice box and Tony turned a bowl from a large blank of Wellingtonia.
