January Meeting Recap:
|
|
January 2016 meeting - Mark Knize, creator of unusual shapes
|
|
|
It was an interesting program because it focused on unusual items and shapes.
He talked about the different shapes,
such as the section of log with the center cut out
and a floating gold ball to the large round walnut wall hanging.
He displayed several of his tools to do specific types of cuts.
He turned the green ball, one half at a time and assembled it after completing both halves.
The wall of the ball is approx one inch thick.
