Class Description

In cooperation with Klingspor’s Woodworking Shop and the North Carolina Woodturners, we are proud to present a special opportunity to see a demonstration by a well-known woodturner and teacher of woodturning, Kirk DeHeer.

Kirk is going to demonstrate turning a calabash bowl, pictured here. It is a great demonstration to learn the tools and techniques used to turn a round bottom bowl out of green wood. It shows the cuts and catches that are possible on face grain. He also discusses design elements of a calabash bowl and incorporating beads.

The cost of the event is $10 for members of the NCW and $20 for non-members. Please enter through the store as the money will be collected at the front register. You will be given a ticket that will be your pass into the event. All proceeds from the event will benefit the North Carolina Woodturners Association.
