Mike Brawley is our featured demonstrator to begin the new calendar year, and Mike will be talking about and showing us “Fair Curves And Fine Detail – Thoughts On Refining The Design Of Turned Objects” The meeting will begin at 6:00pm with a show and share of members work, followed by a short business meeting which will commence at 6:30pm.
The topics that Mike will be discussing include:
-
What is good design?
How to study turned objects?
How to develop a design.
How to get from a wooden blank to the finished piece you want.
Good design is as important as good tool control, and it can be learned in much the same way.

There will be a few drawing exercises, so everyone should bring a pencil and perhaps an eraser. Paper will be provided.
