About this event









EASY PLATTERS

Club member Tim Tucker will be teaching a one-day class for the Carolina Mountain Woodturners

Saturday, March 8 at the CMW Turning Learning Center (TLC) in Arden.

About the class

We will delve into approaches to turning platters. The class will help the participants in determining suitable woods and how to position the piece for best grain and/or figure presentation. We will discuss design choices and finishes. Then how to best mount the wood to allow the most flexibility in making design changes on the fly. I use 4 platters at different stages of completion as physical examples students can refer to.




Tim Tucker background & philosophy

Now starting into my 7th year in turning, I have work in 3 juried galleries and am a regular assistant teacher at the John C Campbell Folk School. I love making platters as they are often overlooked as an option when newer turners are thinking of the "next project".

There is always something new to try in shape or process. If you are not testing yourself - you are not progressing in your skill.
