Turning Thin Stock - Alternative Mounting

with Dave Sanborn

Friday, June 19, 2026, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep. Often the sawmills will cut their best highly figured pieces thin for the cabinet and furniture makers. Thin material can be turned successfully. Learn mounting techniques that will enable you to turn an odd shaped blank or platter from stock without sacrificing your prime wood in the process of making the tenon. This class will give you inspiring ideas for developing your own woodturning style. Come join Dave and turn a Wooden Platter. A 10% discount will be granted to each student on most hand and lathe tools as well as accessories on the day of the class.

THE BASIC BOWL – FROM TREE TO TABLE.

with Dave Sanborn

Sunday, June 21, 2026, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM

This class will cover the basic steps required and answer your questions as you turn your first bowl. Do I want to turn green wood or dry blanks? I don't live on a farm, where do I find the logs to make green blanks? I found someone who wants a tree cut up, what's the best way to cut and store the logs? Where do I find dry blanks? Do they turn different than green blanks? Do I want to use conventional or carbide tools? We will spend the first part of the class discussing these issues as well as any others that you may have – Dave will explain the various choices and alternatives as well as demonstrate the basic mounts and steps involved in making a bowl. Late morning each student will have an opportunity to practice each tool on the practice blank Dave has mounted. Then each student will take a blank (using carbide tools) "from the tree to the table." A 10% discount will be granted to each student on most hand and lathe tools and accessories the day of the class.
