President's
Turn
by George Raeder
I
hope that each of you had a wonderful holiday season and that your
turnings given to relatives and friends were truly appreciated. A new
year is upon us and we have much to be thankful for. The NCWT Club can
certainly be thankful after a fun filled auction and net sales of
almost thirty-one hundred dollars. That is the highest total yet for
our yearly event. Thank you all for the high quality donations and
your willingness to purchase. And a special thanks to auctioneer
Tom Nero who even got me to pay eleven dollars for a ten dollar
Rockler gift certificate!
Moving
forward, the new year gives us an opportunity to be resolute in our
support of NCWT. Not with easily broken New Year's resolutions, but
with a new commitment to our club and association. With a new
commitment to our hobby, to improve our skills, to add variety to our
projects, to learn from and teach others, and to offer assistance and
support to NCWT activities. Commit to donate our surplus wood for our
monthly raffles, commit to bring in our current work for the show and
tell table, commit to enter the turn and learn event each month for in
the end you will be the benefactor by learning new skills. Lastly on
this subject, donate a little of your time to NCWT.
Volunteer
to contribute your skills for the benefit of others, be it finishing
techniques, wood selection, tool making, interesting computer
websites,. or simply turning tips. Volunteer for the tasks and jobs
required to make this organization viable and worthy of our time. We
will all benefit, especially you!

Woodworm Record!
by Jim Pugh
John
Blainer is going for a new worlds (well, maybe Ohio) record for the
most wood worms removed from a rough-turned bowl. On this Wednesday in
November (11/12), while at my shop, he roughed out a piece of wormy
ash. When he had reached the inside depth that he wanted he could see
worms everywhere. (Wonder how many bounced off of his face shield)??.
Over the next hour he picked out 13 wood worms, most in the 3/16"
diameter by 3/4" long size. After he got home he picked out 7
more and said that there is still one more (at least) still munching
away in there. We figure that if he hadn't noticed the worms hard at
work the bowl would have been reduced to a handful of rubble in about
a week. Anyway, 20 worms, going on 21. Can anyone top that?
