>Here is a natural edged Red Alder bowl, 14.5 by 8 inches which was a tree a month ago. I rough turned it to 1 inch walls, soaked over night, wrapped as Dave outlined, and dried for a week. Then returned to final thickness of 1/4 inch, rewrapped the bottom and soaked again over night and dried two weeks before finishing.

Dave gave a presentation to out group this week in Bremerton, WA. He deserves a lot of appreciation for his tireless research.

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

>Hi Rodger,

Thank you for suggesting to your club that I be invited to give a presentation about the alcohol drying process. I was made most welcome by your members and guest. This was the first formal presentation I have done and I appreciated the patience the people gave me. Your club has some very gifted turners as evidenced by your alder bowl.

FYI, I got home at midnight. I wasn't worth must Thursday but who could tell?
