March 2018 meeting: Turning Green Wood Thin Wall Bowls by Dennis Lillis
		Dennis can turn them thin. Real thin! It takes green wood, a sharp tool and a steady hand. Not to mention experience in having done it before. Start at the rim, go down an inch or so. Make multiple cuts until that part is thin. Then continue toward the bottom in steps until finished. but don't go back because the part toward the rim will distort. Go back and there's trouble.
