A close-up photo captures a woodturning demonstration at the West Bay Woodturners meeting. A man wearing a name tag that reads "Dennis" is using a technique called thread chasing on a lathe. He uses a supporting tool to hold a thread-chasing tool steady against the spinning wood, cutting deep spiral threads into the end of a light-colored wooden box. Two other turning tools with wooden handles rest on the lathe bed nearby.
