The February meeting of the Nittany Valley Woodturners will feature a presentation by club member and long time turner, Dan Kozar, for an overview of the fundamentals of woodturning. Topics to be covered will include lathe set-up, mounting, chucks, various types of tools and their intended use, and general information and insight that will be useful and informative for the novice or experienced turner. Time will be allotted for questions and answers for an interactive session.
In addition to the usual wood auction we will be auctioning two pieces of exotic woods recently donated to the club. A piece of Leapordwood and a piece of Bocote will be auctioned.
We will also have our usual Show & Tell. Individuals are encouraged to bring your recent turnings to share with the group. Time will also be provided for group discussion of a particular challenge or success.
Nittany Valley Woodturners is always looking for new members who are interested in woodturning. Our club is a chapter of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW).
We hope to see you at our next meeting on Thursday, February 7, 7-9 pm at the Mount Nittany Middle School, 656 Brandywine Dr., State College, PA
