Our own Jerry Bennett (right) is one of America's premier segmented woodturners (that's a fact, folks).  This piece is featured in the October 2010 American Woodturner magazine (pg. 50) and is entitled "Feelin' Those Good Vibrations."  Jerry, along with our own Andy Chen, will be two of the featured demonstrators at the 2nd Annual Segmenting Symposium at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Gatlinburg, TN, November 11-14.  Congratulations Jerry and Andy!

Judges

George Kabacinski and By Reed were the judges for September's Show & Tell.

September's Demo: Surface Decoration by Paula Haymond

Paula Haymond has garnered many Show & Tell ribbons with her beautifully decorated plates. For September's demonstration, Paula shared some of her techniques with GCWA members.  As usual, interest in GCWA demo's was keen.     A little known fact about Paul: she holds a Doctor's of Education degree.   Paula draws her designs on paper and transfers them to the work piece before she begins to carve and color. Here, Paula is shown using a high-speed cutter to create the design. A good demo, enjoyed by all!

Faces in the Crowd

The Lending Library was active at September's meeting.

Frank Campbell discusses the Corian bracelet he made.

Delbert Pond tells the crowd about his award-winning box.  Larry Zarra (right) was the Master of Ceremonies for Show & Tell.

Larry had to do double duty here--he was not only the Master of Ceremonies, he also was the award recipient!
