Roland Hege will demonstrate hand chasing of threads, using a commercial set of chasers, and talk about which woods are best used for threading. Expect to get some design ideas, tips, techniques, and perhaps, even some tricks!
Enter the raffle and have a chance to win a turning by Dwight Hartsell, our “Turner of the Month” for January.

Come join the Charlotte Woodturners meeting on Thursday, November 17, 6:30 p.m. to explore one of the most frequently asked questions we hear around the gallery table at our monthly meetings – “What finish did you use on that piece?” Later the question might be: “Was that oil or lacquer?” or “Was that spray or brush-on?” Ric Erkes will lead us in a discussion of finishing techniques and will bring a piece to show us how he applies his beautiful finishes. Also for this meeting, let’s expand the show ‘n tell to include YOUR finishing techniques as well as your finished pieces. Bring your finishing supplies, show us how you apply your finish, and let’s make this a very informative meeting. Most of all, bring your questions and issues that you have about finishing, and we’ll all learn from them. Bruce Lacy will also demonstrate his buffing system. If you would like to see what a difference buffing will make to your finished piece, bring it to the meeting.
Ric is also our turner of the month for November and you don’t want to miss this opportunity to enter the raffle and have a chance to win a turning by Ric. Also, if you have an item (wood, tool, glue, etc.) to bring for the raffle table please do so. We are always looking for items and it helps in raising funds for our demonstrators for the future.
Bring one or more of your recent turnings for the show ‘n tell portion of the program. For each item (up to three) you bring for the show ‘n tell or the raffle, you’ll earn an opportunity to win the year-end raffle prize given away in December.
