We had a very informative and fun evening as the 'Bowler Hatted wood turner' John Aitken brought his lathe and wood to our meeting. John started off with a poem and took us on a short walk through his life with wood, starting off being apprenticed as a wood turner, moving into general carpentry and joinery and then back to wood turning.
He brought many examples of items he had made that were for sale as well as making a honey dipper, spinning top, lace bobbin and a light pull which were kindly donated to our next raffle in September.
