It might almost be Spring but there was snow on the ground before the Saturday session of the Bowl Turning hands-on class
Each day started with a clean barn as the participants start getting setup
Barb and Jake getting things started at the Saturday session
Barb gets things started on the right foot with the directions around the place
John Lunney was the instructor for both the Friday and Saturday sessions
John started the sessions with some explanations of how he processes his bowl blanks
He shows how he harvests them from the tree, depending on the desired results
John shows how he marks his centers and trims the blanks round
A poster John used to explain the classic shapes and how to plan your turning
After the explanations, John mounts a blank and demonstrates the entire process beginning to end
At various points, everyone was encouraged to come closer to get a better view
Once the bowl was done, John cuts it in half to see how well it was executed
