Our October meeting included a presentation about turning a bowl out of a white cedar burl and debrief of the recent woodturning symposium from Jeremy Sinclair and our normal show & tell and wood auction.
Richard Garland’s Presentation
Richard Garland provided a slide show demonstration titled “Tree to Bowl –
White Cedar Burl”. Below you can see the log with the Burl which was cut from the log and cut in 2 pieces, one of which, Richard prepped for the lathe and turned into a large bowl with great grain. One challenge was dealing with tear-out due to the grain and softness of the cedar. Nice bowl.
Jeremy’s Tour of the Symposium
Everyone enjoyed Jeremy Sinclair’s enthusiastic summary and slide show of the
Lancaster Mid-Atlantic Woodturning Symposium. Amazing world renowned woodturners were there to demonstrate their skills and teach attendees the tricks of the trade. Vendors were also there to show off their products with many opportunities to find deals and pickup the tools you need. We hope that more members will attend next year’s event the 3rd week, September 2026.
