Some of the folks gathering at Barb's Barn for the Turners 2 July meeting |
Because parking is limited, there is a parking lot crew to assure maximum utilization of space |
Vice President Rich Sarama gets the meeting started |
We began the meeting with our guest presenter, Harry Hunt from Waleska GA |
|
|

|
|
Harry shows some of his froes, original and replicas |
His mallet has to do strenuous duty so it's made from a tough root section |
To split the log section, use the natural split lines |
This log was tough enough to require wedges |
|
|

|
|
Because of the storm, turnout for the meeting was pretty light |
With the log section split, Harry selects the section for the seat |
By using a froe, the log splits along the grain lines |
Harry uses a foot adze to clean up the seat section |
|
|
|
|
|
Once that is done, a plane can help smooth the seat blank |
Next, the material for the stool legs is split out of the log section |
With a treadle lathe, round stock is much easier than square stock |
Harry rounds the stool leg sections on the shaving horse using a spoke shave |
