Glenn will present a demonstration of turning live from his studio in County Carlow Ireland. He will make an elegant Dublin Viking bowl based on one made in the eleventh century by the Vikings which was recently discovered under the streets of Dublin in Ireland. The intricate closed form of this piece can help to perfect the techniques which are useful in all aspect of turning.

In this demo we will take a look at selecting the right tools for the job and then mastering the cuts. From quickly rough shaping a piece to achieving a smooth surface and fluid curves straight from the bowl gouge. Negative Rake scrapers will also be discussed and their benefits.

In addition a slide show of recent projects and tour of his new workshop and classroom in Ireland will be included.

This demonstration is sponsored by Nevada County California Gold Country Woodturners and is open to club members and other woodturners. The Zoom waiting room will open at 8:30 AM on Saturday January 16, and the demonstration will start at 9:00AM.

Note: GCWT will be presenting a series of online virtual demos by five internationally know turners through the winter and spring. Joining GCWT before purchasing tickets can save $20-30 over the series.
