Turn a White Oak Bourbon Tumbler

You heard correctly.....we have done the class a couple times now and it is a hit! Devon is ready to expand it to six students! This is a two night class where we will use a router table to prepare the White Oak pieces, glue them together in the first night and then in the second class, turn them to form on a lathe, char/burn the inside and then maybe, if there is time, mozzie on down to Stone Bar and Grill and do a little tasting! You may need a friend to pick you up! You will make at least two of them!
