Period Furniture Meeting
The PFG subgroup will meet at Woodcraft, Portsmouth NH from 9 AM until noon on
Oct 20. We will begin with general questions and conversation about our federal knife box project. We hope to have one of the four knife boxes at the meeting that was built by Gary Kokx.
There is also interest in viewing videos produced in the Lie-Nielson studio featuring Steve Latta on inlay techniques. Additionally we have videos by Rob Millard on marquetry and inlay. Lunette banding is discussed in Millard’s video. These videos are member owned and we appreciate the willingness to share them.
Fresh drawings may be available on the knife box. Time permitting, at the meeting end you can try your hand at sand shading.

The 12th Old Ways Days will be October 20 & 21 at Dave and Anne Emerson’s Old Ways Traditions, 418 Shaker Road, Canterbury, NH. Old Ways Days features traditional craft demonstrations, especially hands on, operating antique machinery and engines, fun live music, and very good food.
New this year we’ll have more demos, operating machinery run by vintage gas and steam engines, including unusual, unique machines from two of the largest collections in the state. You’ll love Entangled Strings- a six piece band known for memorable versions of Americana and popular favorites. And besides the usual hots and hams and our must have chili there’ll be homemade soup and squash rolls.
Our demos will include blacksmithing, saw milling, broom making, spoon carving, braided rugs, wood turning, and more. Come meet our friendly alpacas. Tools for Kids will have blacksmithing for kids and adults, woodturning and multiple hand tools to try.
Badger’s drift, Americana originals, play mid day Saturday and in the afternoon, traditional Bluegrass by Newfound Grass. Sunday we’ve got Ryan Thompson and son Brennish, as good as Celtic gets, and we wind up with the exciting Entangled Strings.
Old Ways Traditions is located on land of the 1785 Hamm Farm. Well maintained trails provide access to / and enjoyment of fields surrounded by a fascinating variety of stonewalls, woodlands, and a lively brook. The site has a combined antique shop and museum as well as a working wood shop producing Shaker and contemporary accessories.
Saturday October 20 10:00 to 4:00, Sunday October 21 10:00 to 3:00
Old Ways Traditions, 418 Shaker Road. 1 1⁄4 mi. N. of Shaker Village

Woodturners Will Need to Register
for this Meeting—Space is Limited!
Granite State Woodturners to meet on Nov 10th.
While Claude specializes in truly fantastic segmented turnings, his bread and butter bowls are twice turned and stacked up to dry like cordwood.
Come join us for a fun morning of reconciling the nearly dry but out-of-round shapes with their future appearance. Claude will demonstrate the moves a bowl gouge needs to make as it selectively removes the warped surface and re-establishes a round vessel. He will also discuss methods of holding, chucking and finishing twice turned efforts.
There is limited parking in his yard but there is an adjacent wood road that should be available.
Should anyone be near Manchester on Monday evenings, newly elected President Ron Marcoux will be turning and answering questions at Manchester MakerSpace on Monday evenings: 10/22, 10/29 and 11/5 from 6 to 8 pm. Come take a peak at the newly re-structured woodshop and check out the metal lathe.
Turn safe!
