Not all of us are into sculptural art as our goal in woodturning! If it is beautiful to us and our friends or recipients, that may be enough for many or most of us.. But if we don't see the current state of "art" in our discipline, then we shut ourselves off from more refined and innovative ideas that may lead us in unexpected directions in our work. If you haven't taken the opportunity of checking out some issues of Woodturning the English woodturning magazine from our library, you should do so. We subscribe and the past issues are a wonderful resource of both art and craft in woodturning. To get your own subscription, click here. Make notes of any page that gives you an innovative idea. In addition, if you have access to the web, go check out some of the gallery displays of what is being done at the highest level of our "art/craft". I would suggest that you go to: www.delmano.com, click 'wood art' at the top leader and then you can see a large collection of the turned art exhibited by this gallery over the past several years. Some of this by turner artists that have been demonstrators for our club. |

Meeting Review • June 1, 2002 Elyria woodturner Jim Shuster demonstrated turning salt and peppermills and a more efficient way of setting up a duplicator for this type of project. To see more of Jim's turnings and other wood workings, visit his Web site, The Turning Point, at http://kb8fst.homestead.com/Woodturning.html. We extend our thanks to Jim for an interesting and informative presentation.  A sampling of Shuster's turned salt and pepper mills from The Turning Point |

 Annual Ice
Cream Social The Northcoast Woodturners Annual Ice Cream Social was held on Sunday, July 14 at the home of George and Pat Raeder. It is impossible to accurately describe the setting and artistic ambiance of the Raeder homestead, and it would take a master photographer to do it justice. The property of approximately five-acres is dominated by a home which is actually an incredible art gallery/architectural marvel and a carefully woven tapestry of gardens threaded with accents of Pat's pottery, George's wood working and architectural creations, creek bed stones and sculptures. While secluded at the end of a cul de sac in northwestern Summit County, the home and gardens are as welcoming as the Raeder's themselves. A countless variety of sun-loving plants create walls of color. An even greater variety of perfectly-maintained islands of shade perennials etch out a lovely, curving maze of grassy trails under the trees. An amazing all-weather cactus garden is featured in a sunny spot near the creek running along the back of the property. Northcoast members and their guests, many armed with cameras, strolled through the gardens discovering treasures like Pat's pottery flowers poking through a wave of dark green leaves, the whimsical faces of her "garden guards" and pottery animal creations of all kind, from an elegant giraffe standing sentry on a log to a fanciful taloned owl perched on a fence post. Ice cream and sherbet, along with Rita Duxbury's fruit salsa and crispy cinnamon chips, provided a refreshing treat on this warm July Sunday. THANK YOU, George and Pat Raeder, for sharing your wealth of creativity and effort with us! |
