Description
Three-day class (a good intermediate level class), Held April 30th thru May 2nd, 2025
Day 1: Natural edge bowl with a flair:Â Shapes and form for natural edge bowls (with a little extra flair) will be the focus of this class. Preservation of bark and alternatives when there is no bark will be discussed. Blank selection and various chucking methods will be covered as we create an attractive looking natural edge bowl with an ogee curve.
Day 2: Introduction to nested sets (using the Kel McNaughton coring set):Â The focus of this class will be to extract as many natural edge bowls as possible from one piece of wood. Andy will also show how to re-chuck the pieces for further turning. We will also discuss the various other coring systems available and the pros and cons of each.
Day 3: Sunny Side Up Egg on a Plate: This fun little project will focus on how to create an edible looking sunny side up egg on a plate using appropriately colored woods. First, we will turn an egg yolk, The next step is to create a realistic looking egg white in which to insert the egg yolk. Creating and shaping the egg white will include some freehand abrasive work and sanding. Lastly, a plate will be turned to hold the breakfast item.
