Date is Nov 9 and will be at Steve Belair's shop in Auburn NH 124 Pond View Auburn NH.
Meeting begins at 9 AM and concludes at noon.
PFG will be continuing a Queen Anne side chair project.

Our lead builders have the chair mortised and tenoned into a rough form and will begin the fine shaping of the chair.

Claude Dupuis on Front Page of the Concord Monitor
Kudos to Claude...
"Claude Dupuis got a wood-turning lathe from his wife in 2008 who wanted a bed with canopy-like bedposts.
Over the last 11 years, he’s only finished three of the four posts, but in the meantime, he’s made hundreds of bowls, pens and other turned-wood creations at his Canterbury Turnings workshop.
They say you need to turn 1,000 bowls before you’re good,” Dupuis said on Friday. “I don’t know if I’ve done 1,000, but I’m well on my way I think...”
