Our February 14 meeting was attended by 29 members.
The President’s challenge for February was to turn something that had to have the foot turned and explain the method used. Winners were Ken Goetz (1st) and Randy Maynard (2nd) in the Novice division. Mitch Mattis was 1st in the Advanced division and Jim Nickless and Lynn Southward tied for second.
Jim Nickless gave a demonstration on miniature segmented turning.

Erik Blom mentioned the Society of American Period Furniture Makers were at the Detroit Institute of Arts on March 18 & 19. I could not find information on these dates on their website. However, I see demonstrations by this group listed for March 28 & 29 and April 2 & 3. Detroit Institute of Art is as 5200 Woodward Avenue in Detroit. Erik also mentioned that two woodturners were at The Museum of African American Art. Unfortunately I could not find anything on line. Erik, can you help with this?
