380 - Turning Club - 10/Mar/2012

The theme for this week was "Mushrooms and Toadstools".

Jan Cranston created miniature displays with clumps of Fungi. Terry Thomas created a lawn with mushrooms growing.

Alwyn Moorbey's large mushroom included a detailed underside.

Colin King's collection was highly colourful. Yew was a popular choice for the many 'natural wood' mushrooms.

Other items displayed included plates, and lidded boxes.

Allen Atkins demonstrated making a square corner platter/bowl, a box with a tall finial plus a mushroom box.

Roy Boulton demonstrated making a Ladies Jewellery stand.

The theme for next time (24th March) will be "Pen and Pencil holder" - as used on a desktop.

Next week 17th March there will be a demo by Nick Arnull.
