Have you ever tried to turn a sphere? Luther Bjornsen will show you how during our September 12 meeting.

Be sure to also accept our challenge for the meeting which is to do a spindle turning. No size limit so you don’t want to miss this opportunity!

“Hi there, what’s your name?” For the July meeting, members are challenged to turn a nametag with their name on it. Let your imagination fly……there’s no size limit but we may make you wear it! Come to our next meeting on Tuesday, July 11, 6pm at MRC Roofing on Sand Island. We want to SEE your name!

The next Honolulu Woodturners meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 9, 2023 at 6:00PM. Attend in-person or by Zoom. Join us in-person to chat, gain insights and perhaps get inspiration for your next turning.

• Demonstration: Member Warren Naai will be turning a molinillo de madera (wooden whisk/mill). This will be a spindle turning demo and including: coves, beads, hollowing, carving and coloring the wood.
• Woodturning Challenge for May: Members were challenged to turn an open-faced bowl (10” maximum diameter) for the next meeting.

• As always, there may be free wood that fellow members may kindly bring!

Honolulu Woodturners 3/14/23 Meeting

As mentioned in the January meeting, we have a Facebook members only community site. You have to be a member to see pages, comments and post. To be a member is easy — just ask someone to invite you (like me!). We will limit the group to members of the club and some exceptions for friends of the club. But for now drop me a line and I will get an invite to you.

We don’t want to lose anyone! We will soon begin the process of dropping those that have not paid and it’s so sad to remove someone. Please don’t make us do that. Now is a great time since you get the full years worth!! Click on the Application page to do it now!
