Peter Osborn was our demonstrator for October and produced a mahogany top from a design by Gordon McIver - as an example of the sort expected for the next members' display.
Dalemain - Members and families about to enter the house for the guided tour. Dalemain, in common with most such sites, has a 'no photography' rule in the house but some photos and details are to be found using the link above.
Tracy Owen paid us another visit this month and treated us to an excellent demo again. He started by making an ash bowl, textured and coloured and went on to give his version of a weed pot - to be the club 'please turn one' item for September - and another, maple bowl = a triangular one.
This years annual exhibition was a great success with visitors and sales doing well though the beginning of the week was on the slow side things picked up later with visitors from around the world looking in on us. Lionel and Roger were kept busy with the younger generation by making a variety of items for them. We also seemed to be overrun with mice at The Rayrigg Rooms this year due to Brian encouraging the children to help him to assemble a mouse for them to take home.
