390 - Turning Club - Pen and Pencil Holders - Desk Tidy theme.

Almost uniquely recently, all pieces shown were finished to show the beauty of natural wood.

There were many conventional desk tidies with pen and pencil holders, clocks, and recesses for paper clips etc.

Bowls of many shapes and sizes are useful to reduce desk clutter - a variety of beautiful woods have been used in the pieces shown.

Allen Atkins demonstrated making several bowls and a bird while Roy Boulton demonstrated flattening techniques (for a bread board) and held an extended session showing and helping inexperienced turners through spindle turning fundamentals.

The theme for next week is - create a Yo-Yo.
