Central Fla Woodturners
Steven,
1. Central Florida Woodturners have a great group that meets in the woodcraft in fern park(north Orlando 17-92) third Thursday. I will be there April 18 to making some chips.
Give them a call they are having a hands on this Saturday. can't find my email from Gene so I may be wrong but I think it is natural edge bowls.
Gene Gross, an excellent teacher, class is probably filled but sometimes people have to drop out. it would be a great opportunity. they will have more classes.
