Hawkes Bay Turning Collaboration 2018

This year there was less tui song and less wind but fewer people had just as much enjoyment turning wood at this gathering of 26 woodies. Well, I think that was the count. I saw Dan from Woodcut Tools making a few shavings. That Hoot from Taupo was there for a while too – maybe just checking to see whether he could get there and back without putting the wrong fuel in the car. A few of the locals popped in for a while and there may have been more casual visitors too.
Thanks to Roger and Hawkes Bay Club members for their setup work and cleaning up after us.
They set us three projects: Make something from this old totara telephone pole (items 1 to 8); Use the wood from this box of bits (items 9 to 16); and use a chunk of this old totara stump (items 17 to 24). After that we made whatever we liked, as long as it was collaborative.
