We are pleased to have Mickey Callahan as our presenter for the April meeting. Many of you know Mickey from previous presentations and as the "Artist in Residence" at the Woodcraft store in Walpole.
Store address: 3 Walpole Park S, Walpole, MA 02081
Zoom Link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89948857881?pwd=gIbwdfHpy1NAavW927d3vYhJzakl6j.1
Our hosts at Woodcraft ask that we not enter the store until the usual 9:00 AM starting time.
As usual, please bring $2 if you want coffee.
We'll hope to head to a nearby restaurant for lunch after the meeting for anyone interested and available.
Mickey will be discussing kerf bending and making tambours. Both these methods are used in the construction of curved surfaces and have the similarity of lots of narrow strips attached to a flexible surface.
