Members carpooled to Spearfish, SD, on Wednesday June 12, 2024 to visit Larry and Druce Kelloggs for a shop tour and wood turning demonstration. Attendees included Al, Nick, Larry, Druce, Kathie and Bob.
Larry and Druce are members of the Northern Hills Woodworking Guild of Spearfish which focusses on woodturning. Larry, a retired logger, has a small portable sawmill, which he has used to cut several walnut logs for us in the past. He is considering putting the sawmill on the market.
Larry put together an interesting demo showing us how to make a small pendant type key holder with a stainless steel ring and a piece of hardwood. He is still using his small precision lathe which he purchased at the BHSC Art Department auction held in 2008. It has been a major workhorse in his shop.
Here's a few photos from the tour.
