Faces In the Crowd and Other Pictures
April was our annual picnic and there was a good turn out at Pavilion
No. 2 at the Frankie Randolph Park. |
A favorite activity at monthly meetings--chatting with
old friends (and catching a few rays, in this case). |
While there was no formal demo at the April
Picnic meeting, someone brought a lathe and where you find a
lathe you usually find Luna Ford who usually attracts a crowd. |
The more Luna turned, the larger the crowd got. |
After Luna got finished, Kendall Westbrook took a
turn at it with Mack DeBose looking on. |
The GCWA Spring Retreat is just
around the corner and folks were signing up fast. |
The wide selection of classes, demos and
discussions plus the New Turners Track makes it easy to find something
of interest. |
As usual, there was an excellent selection of
turned items for the judges to select from. |
Clyde Collier explains to another member (not shown of purpose),
why his sphere isn't a cube. |
Andy Chen and Jim Keller discussing, you guessed
it, woodturning, their favorite subject! |
The food was great and plentiful--at least for those near the front of
the line!. |
Actually, there was plenty of food for all, some even had
seconds . . . and thirds!.. |
Yumm! |
Food wasn't the only thing of interest--the Show & Tell
Critique, hosted by Bill Berry always attracts a lot of
interest. |
Ronnie Hubbell discusses his entry will Bill
Berry displays it for the crowd. |
Here are individual pictures of some of the other items that were presented
for consideration at April's meeting.
