We were honored to have several guests at the meeting. These were potential future members.
Several attendees brought brought samples of their work and added them to our show and tell table. Pictures of these samples are shown below.
The main event of the evening was Jeff Slaton’s presentation and live review of his trip to the English Tool Making Industries in Sheffield Great Britain. This was a very interesting talk.

Wayne Lovelace was our featured Demonstrator. He turned a 2 piece woodcarvers mallet of purpleheart and maple. He showed some interesting Techniques, including the use of a Stebb Center, and showed several tricks for the “Taming of the Skew.”
Dues for the 2017-2018 year of $25 are now due and being accepted by the treasurer.
As usual there were some interesting pieces on the show and tell table.
On July 21 at the Parker Center we were treated to a hot dog lunch by the Sheriff’s Department Campers. Then the Campers were entertained with a top turning demo by Tom Canada encouraged by Charlie Self. We also welcomed back to our activities Phil Ward after his recent surgery. Thanks to our members each of the campers received a top to take home. A top spinning competition was held. A fun time for all.
