Our December 2025 gathering was lively and enjoyable. Gary Kelly impressed us with a spoon-making demonstration, a skill I plan to try after the holidays. The turnout was great, and we enjoyed various treats. I'm looking forward to the January demonstration! #woodturners #december

In November, our president encouraged us to donate gifts to the Christmas Bureau, and our members responded eagerly. Gary Burns made colorful spin tops from various woods, decorated with markers and sealed with lacquer. It'll be exciting to see how long they spin! #woodturning #woodturner #fvwg
