WGNC is honored to have Jim Duxbury for our January 9th monthly meeting where he will once again inspire us with his unique creative talents.

Wooden bowls and vessels can be created in various shapes and sizes, and can be both decorative and functional. Jim’s demonstration titled “Shark Tooth Bowl” is a little different and teaches principles that expand creativity and ability. This piece has additional creative embellishments to make it exceptional and a uniquely crafted piece.

To start off the new year, we have three additions to your Library.

From Al Stirt, who will be a featured Demonstrator this year, we have purchased two DVD's.

The first is Al's "Turning and Carving the Square Platter". In this DVD, all the steps for making one of Al's carved rectangular platters is presented. It covers cutting the blank, shaping and sharpening tools, turning and texturing the piece and laying out, carving and coloring patterns. It also includes information about using rotary tools and milk paint to create unique patterns and textures.
