Once again, I am happy that the group was able to get together and share our pen turning experiences, get some free blanks, sell some stuff, and see some really great demo's. Our visitors were impressed with the meeting (thanks everyone for bathing this week and wearing shirts and shoes for the meeting, we go back to the regular dress code next meeting), and for the most part the translator did not have to do too much work.
I want to thank all of the folks who travelled to make this meeting a true Southeast meeting! We appreciate all of the folks coming down and checking out the Georgia chapter!
I think our next meeting will have a bunch of new PR blanks poured by some first time blank makers, and I look forward to see what they come up with.
I cannot wait to try the new finish that Russell was demonstrating, it looks great after it is polished.
Tentative dates for the 12th and 13th meetings will be September 17th, and December 17th, so plan on coming out! Remember if you have a demo you would like to do, or you would like to see, please let me know what it is!!!
Again, thanks to the Woodcraft folks for making the facilities available to us, and allowing us to meet at such a fine facility.
