President’s Message By Renhard McLaurin
Examination
Socrates once said, “The unexamined life isn’t worth
living.” I would suspect that the unexamined club
isn’t worth belonging to as well. When was the last
time we examined our club? Where are we headed?
What is our purpose? Luckily Socrates didn’t say
we needed the answers; we only needed to ask the
questions.
Over the next few months I will be assisting the club
and its members in asking the questions. How do we
balance the exceptional needs of the experienced
turner with the fundamental needs of the novice?
Does our club have a purpose other than meetings
once a month and a Christmas party once a year?
What else can we do?
In this month’s issue of “American Woodturner” we
are given short bois on the 2014 candidates for the
Board of the American Woodturner organization.
The candidate from North Carolina, Byron E.
Rosburgh, discussed helping take his local

Wilmington woodturners association from 35 members to over 110. He alludes to the fact that not only
giving direction to the club but also setting goals was a key to his success. Concrete ideas developed out of
the desires of the membership, and potential membership, led to their growth.
As a board, we are moving forward with some wonderful ideas but we need more input from OUR
membership in order to provide you with the solutions for your passions. We understand that the quality of
our demonstrators has a direct relationship with the number of members present at a monthly meeting.
(Except for last month when we had several members present for Orville Shook’s presentation. They must
have assumed we had another presenter. Just kidding Orville.)
I could spend the next three months learning about segmented turning but I know that others want to hear
about design techniques, business opportunities, nontraditional turning, pens, etc… We strive to provide
something for everyone. We can do design techniques with segmented turning. We can learn about pens
while discussing basic and advanced techniques at the same time.
I guess what I am saying is that I hope you will become vocal. Very vocal. We will work to provide you
with opportunities to voice your opinions. At next month’s meeting you will be asked to relay information
about presentations you wish to see, opportunities with which you wish to be associated and endeavors in
which you wish to partake. We hope to have a representative from one of our beneficiary charities to relay
the impact we can have on the lives of others.
As a precursor, please review the questions below and bring some answers with you at the meeting on
August 10th
.
Do you have any presenters you wish to see in the coming months?
Do you have any techniques you wish to learn through a club presentation?
What questions would you like answered about woodturning?
What is your favorite joke about woodturning/woodworking?
What are your favorite websites?
Please come next month as we explore shell ornaments and work on the questions Socrates asked us to
examine?

August Demonstrator – Kurt Hertzog By Beth Parham
I am excited for this month’s meeting. I, personally, will be able
to meet Kurt Hertzog, Vice President of American Association of
Woodturners (AAW).
The morning portion of his presentation is scheduled to be Sputnik
Shell Ornaments; afternoon presentation will be Beyond the Basic pen. I am
looking forward to seeing this master woodturner sharing his skill and taking copious notes for my
reference after the day is finished. The exact demonstrations may vary from this write-up; this is based on
the information I had at the time of publication of the newsletter.
A professional woodturner, Kurt enjoys the continuum of woodturning from making his own turning tools
to photographing his finished turnings. He keeps his turnings diverse in an effort to explore fully the craft
and the medium. As frequent demonstrator and instructor on all facets of woodturning, he particularly
enjoys teaching tool sharpening, work holding, and advanced pen making.
Kurt writes two regular feature columns for Woodturning Design Magazine and a series for Woodturning
Magazine. He is one of the five Council Members of the Pen Makers Guild, past Chairman of the
Rochester Woodworkers Society, and a member of the Board of Directors and currently Vice President of
the American Association of Woodturners.
His work has been featured in the American Association of Woodturners "Rounding The Corners" Exhibit
and published in Woodturning Design, Woodturning magazine, American Woodturner, Pen World, and
Stylus magazines. You can see the range of his work on www.kurthertzog.com, and on
www.penmakersguild.com.

newsletter. Share ideas you’d like to see incorporated in OUR newsletter.

items that do not play properly. We have obtained additional materials from the Tuckers as well as from
other members that have donated to the club. These are being evaluated/separated/cataloged where they
may be additions to our library.

club discount benefit). Additionally there were some renewals that came in at the last meeting. I am
working on adding new nametags and membership information for our directory as well as updating
membership information to Klingspor for discounts.

Compensation will be paid to members who volunteer to work the NCW symposium room. What would
you need to do? You will need to be the camera assistant and clean up after the demonstrator.
Volunteers will be compensated $25.00 for EACH rotation they complete.

contact me ([email protected] or 828-294-4001) for information on contacting her./ Mrs.
Sigman lives in Lincolnton, NC.
