Several members attended the Square Bowl demonstration led by Chris Mannall on April 20, 2024. Starting with 2 halves glued to a square waste block blank, guild members were shown how to rough shape a square bowl on the lathe. Sanding followed the initial turning and then the blank was split into 2 halves, followed by the internal shaping of one of the bowls. Awesome morning learning some of the details on mounting the bowl on the lathe, which turning tools to use and when and lastly sanding and finishing the bowl.
