A door prize of an Elsworth Bowl Gouge and Sharpening jig.

The Don Geiger woodturning demonstration program is entitled: “Mastering the Side-Ground Bowl Gouge”. It starts with sharpening of the bowl gouge with emphasis on shape, function and repeatability. He will also demonstrate how to sharpen a gouge with a steep primary micro-bevel and a secondary relief bevel and how to do it very repeatedly. Once the sharpening is completed, he will demonstrate five specific uses of a side-ground bowl gouge, plus the usage of the steeper micro-beveled gouge. The demonstration of how to use the gouges includes a comprehensive lesson on turning a natural edged bowl, starting with the selection and cutting of a bowl blank, several mounting options and re-centering techniques. Jam and vacuum chucking will be demonstrated too. Don will perform his demo program on his 900 lb. Stubby lathe.
