We’ve been involved the past couple of years and have sold Garden Dibblers to help raise funds both for LSW and for the Master Gardeners! If you would like to be involved, you can donate some hand-made dibblers to be included in the sale.

Show & Tell – As always, we love to see what you’ve been turning. You can ask for critiques of your work, or you can simply show your turnings. We can discuss turning ‘challenges’, talk about best practices, and chat about perplexing pieces of wood you would like suggestions on how to turn it or what to turn it into.

Safety Minute: AAW Safety Recommendations – What is the biggest safety rule concerning the lathe?”

Raffle – We have a great membership, and once again we are looking for help with raffle prizes. If you have something you could donate whether it’s a piece of wood, a tool you don’t use, or a turning you have done we would appreciate the donation. Depending upon the quantity received yourdonation may be saved for a future month’s raffle.
