P hilli p Medghalchi is relatively new to turning and brought a lot of
turning in progress for feedback on how to part the pieces off and get rid
of the chuck marks. Tom Canfield brought some natural edge crotch bowls of
Mimosa and China Berry as well as a couple of Cherry bowls to show the rich
sheen of Tripoli buff and oil finish. Tom Canfield brought some

Kathy
Hampton brought an open segment bowl of Maple and Walnut made in a Lloyd
Johnson two-day class and a ring holder of Mesquite and Purple Heart. She
has a laser now and her own logo for her turnings. Jim Whisnand brought an
Ash and Walnut box and said he was eager to learn from our presenter. Don
Kaiser brought some neat natural edged and regular edged Huisache bowls. Ken
Morton showed a lovely box of Myrtle burl.
Tony McComas brought a box of unknown wood but greatly topped. Roger Felps
had a large box (urn, cookie jar) of Mesquite with a Corian top. Tom Whiting
showed a grand inlayed rolling pin with a contrasting holder both of Maple
and Walnut. John Stegall showed a couple of boxes, one, and Ash lid with a
Walnut top and the other a Cherry/Pecan confection.
Uel
Clanton brought a completed tool handle to put a “finish” to his demo last
month. George Taylor brought several boxes both made and collected (From Ray
Key and Mike Stafford). He also showed some bowls with natural finish and
colors (using his favorite mouth atomizer technique) on Poplar and Elm with
Box elder as the natural finished one (I think). Last, a highlight, James
Johnson brought an unusual piece of Ash, Cherry and Chinese Tallow derived
from pictures in one of Anna’s books of diatoms. James presents this work
as a tool to remind us that he is going to have a showing of 30 years of his
work at the KACC this September from the 5th through the
29th. Come and bring friends
