(No video: The demonstrator would not permit recording.)
Kick off the New Year with an old (er, familiar) face on Thursday, January 12th, at the NC State Craft Center.
Past President and long-time friend of WGNC, Frank Penta has been involved in woodworking throughout his life. He began to focus specifically on woodturning in 1997.
Frank's work integrates function and aesthetics with fine detailing and finishing to enhance the natural beauty of the wood. Frank's one-of-a-kind designs are exhibited in private collections and sold through museums and galleries.

A tool for traveling turners |
|
|
|
|
If you find yourself traveling for work or fun, wouldn't it be nice to drop in on the local AAW group to see what they're up to?
WGNC member Jim Duxbury had that thought, and kindly put together a map showing all the local chapters color-coded by when they usually meet. It's a fantastic tool for those of you who spend a lot of time on the road and not enough time turning.
"I color-coded it to plan demo trips around the country however it is neat to use on a vacation or any other trips out of town," writes Jim.

Long-time member Lars Nyland will demonstrate this Thursday, November 10, at 7:00pm in the NC State Craft Center.
Lars' eye towards form has led him to photograph the Instant Gallery for many years. His recent exploration of surface texturing in addition to his view on pleasing form will be the focus of discussion.
