All Set for Tomorrow's Bowl Turning Party

Mark is getting the blanks ready for tomorrow's pine bowl turning party.  We have 14 turners signed up to join us.  I'm heading out this afternoon to get plenty of ice for those ice-cold drinks.  It's a bit on the warm side in the shop these days. Looking forward to seeing everyone.  Hope we can add 14 new bowls to the count!  Nancy

We're Having a
Bowl Turning Party!
(because we've got a lot more bowls to turn and could use some help)

When: Saturday, July 24th

Who’s invited: Any one who's taken a bowl turning workshop at Mark Supik & Co (and their guests)

When: 9 AM to 2 PM (give us a call to reserve a lathe for a 2 hour time block).

What's the plan? Mark will give a quick refresher course on bowl turning and then everyone will get a section of our pine tree for their bowl. We hope to get all the turning done in the shop, but the finishing can be done at home (we'll want you to send us a photo of the finished bowl).

Why you should join us:

• Great chance to catch up with fellow woodturning students and meet some new ones
• We'll have a bagel brunch buffet
• You'll be part of very cool project
• You can impress your friends with your bowl turning skills!
  

RSVP to reserve your lathe time: 9-11, 10-12, 11-1, 12-2.
(room for 7 turners at once)

June's Bowl Turning Class Turns Out 12 Bowls!

Brian, Stacy, George, Donna & Tim set a new class record turning out 12 bowls in one class. Thanks for agreeing to let us post your class photo.

Mike Blair's Bowl #8

Thanks, Mike, for sending us the photo of your finished bowl. Great photograph! Mike sent this bowl to his mother in Florida as a gift. Anyone else from Mike's class have their bowl finished? We'd love to have photos.

The Planet Bowl

Here's one of Mark's bowls with the finish on it. Danielle named Bowl #4 "The Planet Bowl" because of the six tiny orbiting pine knots. I'll put up a photo of Bowl #12 when it's finished, because it actually has 8 knots!

Amber Glow

The amber pockets in the pine a beautiful in the right light, even if the light is Mark's desk lamp. Here's Bowl #15, fresh off the lathe.

6 New Bowls from 6 New Woodturners

Thanks to our students on Sunday who agreed to participate in the 1 Tree, 100 Bowls project. Dan, Gretchen, Tom and Melissa started with chunks of the pine tree and ended up with bowls #16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21. We’ll look forward to seeing photos of the finished bowls. Mark turned bowl 22 as a demonstration bowl.
