Here is a recap of our Holiday meeting and Pollyanna Exchange. See who got what from whom and learn a little of what went on! Joe Seltzer brought in a few of his favorite weed pots and his interpretation of what a weed pot is.

Bucks offers a one-year Furniture and Cabinetmaking certificate program and a two-year Associates Degree granting Fine Woodworking Transfer program.

The following two opportunities were published in the October issue of American Woodturner. We regret this information was not available in the September Chapter Bulletin.

We are now less than a year away from the first ever Mid Atlantic Woodturning Symposium.  You are probably aware that we have our demonstrators and the facility lined up, and we are currently working to line up vendors for the trade show and prepare audio video equipment.

Here is the latest news from the AAW on Women in Turning, Member Services, the 102 Year-Old Turner, the 2016 Symposium, and more. Do you recognize anyone in the photo?

If you missed the meeting, here are some pictures of the great work that was presented by our members.
