at the end of the meeting
The club met on 4 March for a demonstration by Nikos of a goblet with a twisted stem from olive wood, Nikos showed the item from start to finish. Then he gave a brief demonstration of his new deep hollowing tool, made a few weeks ago for a particularly deep vase (it was cedar wood, about 600mm by 220mm), showing how it can be used on a smaller hollow form. Finally he finished off with something simple by making an egg from olive wood. The meeting ended with the usual refreshments and general conversation. Unforturnately, Christoferos was unable to attend as, due to a few days of good weather, he had to attend to his olives.
Next meeting 29 April, John Back will be demonstrating.
A short video was taken of parts of the goblet demonstration and we show
you this below, it is a first attempt and later videos will be better we
hope!
