Segmented Bowls with Gary Mrozek
February 23 & 24, 2022 6-9pm
Learn the process to design a bowl and calculate the length, width and angle to cut each piece of wood. In this hands-on class you'll be gluing the pre-cut segments of Cherry and Walnut lumber into rings, sanding the rings flat then gluing these rings together to construct the bowl. The glue will dry overnight. The second evening we'll mount the bowl on the lathe and creating the final profile of the bowl and applying a walnut oil finish.
Watch the Paramount later this year to register
