Bill Tingey on Japanese Woodturning and Craft Techniques

Bill gave us a very entertaining evening on the Japanese wood related crafts.

Having spent over twenty years in the country & having a particular interest in the subject, he enlightened the members with his knowledge of everything from types of wood, tools used, properties, decoration & finishes (particularly lacquers)

Pictures of some of the items talked about follows.

Also scroll down for members work displayed on the evening.
