Wife's turning party
Nov 2^nd, 2005 at 7:53pm

My wife says I have to much turned stuff so she is having a turning party (kind of like a tuperware party but wood).

Should be interesting she says 15 to 20 people will be over in a three hour period on Saturday. I have not sold a single piece yet unless you count the cup for a Blueberry Cheescake, I thought that was a great deal though, but have only been turning since June.

Well we will see how it goes, a friend of mine wants to have a party for me as well, we will see how this goes first.

Your welcome to come, just don't bring any of your turnings. (I'm a beginner and your stuff would make me look bad).
