2024-08-03 August Monthly Meeting & Minutes
August 3rd, the first Saturday, our monthly meeting was held in person at Bain Center (info link) and virtual using Zoom technology.
The demonstration for the August meeting is “Carving” by Tom Blinka.
For the August presentation we will learn about carving. Carving does not need to be difficult and can be incorporated in many woodworker’s projects. Our featured presenter, Tom Blinka from the Woodpeckers Guild, will explain Simple Tools and Techniques for Elegant Carved Designs in Wood.
This presentation is intended to provide both beginners and more advanced woodworkers with an understanding of how a few simple tools, techniques, and a methodical approach can be used to create elegant carved designs in wood. Tom will cover what to consider for decorative carving, different approaches to transferring the design to wood, carving strategy, tools, grips and cuts, and sharpening.
