2019 Salon Results

Thanks to everyone who participated in the Salon.
We had an expansive variety of turned pieces, which made the judging very difficult. The President's Challenge table was filled with Bravery Bead Bowls. These lovely bowls will enrich the lives of many very special children. Well done!
The results of the Salon (and previous years) are here
Special thanks go out to our judges, Tom Fidgen from the Unplugged Workshop and Louise Bonnycastle.
Thanks also to Louise for the delicious homemade treats. Thanks Jack Gelber, Ron Smith, Will Rock, Colleen (The Prez), Franco, Robert
and to everyone that helped to make the 2019 Salon a great success.

And remember - its never to early to start thinking about next year's Salon

Fall President’s Challenge

the Presidents Challenge, which will be due at the October (changed from September) meeting is going to be a mortar and pestle. Richard Pikul was kind enough to do a bit of research and history – here are the links:
I will be missing the first meeting of the year! We will be at a race track in Goodwood England – hence, I am postponing the President’s Challenge until the October meeting, which gives you an extra four weeks to turn a motar and pestle J I have not yet finished mine, but will have one on the table for October.
Mortar and pestle AND more Mortar and Pestle
This Presidents Challenge is open, you can use any wood, make it any size …. And hopefully you’re good enough chefs that you will be able to use this in your home – no give-aways this time, you get to take it home.
