Description: The Wooden Sphere is an appealing item which can be made from practically any type of wood and which is both visually interesting and feels good in the hand. A collection of spheres makes a very attractive display. This session will give participants a chance to turn a Wooden Sphere as demonstrated in our morning meeting. AWA will provide blanks and tools, but participants are also encouraged to bring their own tools.

About the Instructor: Beau Bunn is a very experienced teacher and demonstrator. He has led many week-long workshops at The John C. Campbell Folk School on a variety of topics. He previously served in leadership positions at the woodturning club in Raleigh, NC. He currently lives in Cottondale, AL.
