March at the Ranch brought sings of Spring. Our newest students practiced convex & concave curves by turning goblets. We ran into some punky spalted maple so both the newbies and the first year students got a lesson in how to deal with it. The 1st year students learned that there is such a thing as a round box. The turned straight sided “cups” to take back to their houses with them. The intermediate & advanced groups turned pepper mills. They were offered a choice of mini, midi & regular sized mills. Results were awesome.
On another note, we expect to have “conditioned” air by May. The Ranch is purchasing a 2-ton mini-split unit and a volunteer group should be able to install it in early May. Thanks again to SMWT for the donation towards that project.
