Jamin’ With Barry By Gary Keogh and Bob Gerenser
Our demonstrator tonight was well known Bay Area
Woodturner Barry Uden. Barry was accompanied by
his wife, Laure Uden,
who is also a gifted
woodturner. Along
with some smaller
pieces, Barry brought
two of his impressive
gallery pieces. Laura
is holding a piece
turned from Jarrah, Eucalyptus marginata,
one of the most common species of Eucalyptus tree in
the southwest of Western Australia1. The other photo
shows a dyed rim Maple burl turning and it is a bit
larger than the Jarrah piece.
The theme of Barry’s presentation was how to secure-
ly mount a turned piece to complete the bottom and/or
foot. His preferred method for this operation is to use a
jam chuck and then to wrap the piece and chuck multi-
ple times with 8” stretch wrap. Barry is confident
enough in this procedure that he used it to turn the foot
on the two large pieces shown.
When Barry is ready to turn and finish the bottom of a
piece he usually begins by fashioning a snug fitting
jam chuck. The material for
the jam chuck isn’t important as long as it is sound and
robust enough for the job at hand. Barry often makes his
jam chucks from oversized blanks, thus providing multi-
ple use possibilities. He also drills a through hole in his
snug jam chocks to enable him to use a dowel or pencil
like a “knock-out bar” to remove a turning that was just a
little too snugly inserted.

AAW Symposium If you missed the AAW
Symposium in San Jose
in 2012 this is a great op-
portunity to experience
one of woodturning’s
premier events. This
year’s symposium is be-
ing held in Phoenix, AZ,
as close as it will be for a
while.

This is really promising to be an interesting year for
woodturning in the Bay Area. I have looked for a
chance to see David Ellsworth demonstrate for years,
and now he is coming to the Bay Area March 8 & 9.
He is arguably one of the most influential turners in
the world, but I have never seen him turn. I met him
at the AAW symposium in San Jose, and for all of his
accomplishments, he is a very gracious and nice per-
son. I can’t wait to see what he will show us.
I saw Ray Key two years ago at the Utah Symposi-
um, and he provided a surprisingly riveting presenta-
tion on, of all things, platter rims. Doesn’t sound like
a riveting topic, and to be honest, it was a filler spot
for me when I couldn’t find anything else at that time
I wanted to see. On one blank of wood about 1 ½
inches thick, he demonstrated at least two dozen de-
sign variations for a platter rim, all the while keeping
us entertained with stories and technique refinements,
with the classic British sense of humor. He was one
of my favorite presenters. Ray will be our entire May
monthly meeting, from 7-10 pm, so our President’s
challenge will be shown in June. I personally guaran-
tee that if you are not absolutely thrilled about his
show, I’ll give you your money back. Oh wait, it is
free!
Mike Mahoney may be coming to BAWA for a multi
-day workshop. Stay tuned for details and to see if
we can score some lathe posi-
tions. Mike is a blast, and put
on a dynamite presentation last
year at BAWA.
Dennis Lillis has a great lineup
of programs for our enlighten-
ment and entertainment:
March, Corwin Jones,
“Turning Spheres”
April, Merryll Saylan, “Form,
Color and Appropriate Finish”
June, “Top Night”.
Dennis and John Whittier are co-conspiring for our
Picnic, as well. More details to follow.
Not that far away in May, the Utah Woodturning
Symposium looks good this year. The AAW Sympo-
sium is closer to the West Coast, in Phoenix in June.
Don’t forget your “Square Bowl” for the March Pres-
ident’s Challenge. I still remember the lovely square
bowl Jim Gott made from the quilted maple we
scored from the violin maker. If you want some ide-
as, Google “square wooden bowls” and select the Im-
ages tab. Some are not turned, but there is a plethora
of lovely styles to choose from … if you dare.
As the Byrds song says … Turn! Turn! Turn!
Mike
Ray Key will be presenting a three hour program, from 7:00 PM until 10:00 PM on Wednesday, May 9th at
Rich Johnson’s Turning Center. That’s our regular meeting night at the regular meeting place, but it will be
nothing like a regular meeting! We are asking Ray to present a different program from what you will see ei-
ther Saturday at BAWA or Sunday at West Bay. The May President’s Challenge entrees will be shown in June
and we will also hold off on Show and Tell. This special event is being presented at no cost to our members,
so this is one meeting you really don’t want to miss!
Ray Key’s Bio:
Ray Key's workshop is in Evesham, on the border of the Cotswolds. He has been turning wood for over 40
years and since 1973 it has been his full time occupation. Ray's work has been featured in well over 200 exhi-
bitions worldwide; his work is in many major private collections and in the permanent collections of several
museums. He has travelled widely, being invited to run teaching workshops and demonstrate at international
seminars in USA, Canada, Ireland, Norway, New Zealand, Israel, France and Germany. Ray is an Honorary
Lifetime Member of the American Association of Woodturners and Association of Woodturners of Great Brit-
ain. He has also contributed to Woodturning magazine, published books and made DVDs. Ray acted as Head
Judge on the panel of judges at the 2010 Strictly Woodturning.

Bay Area Trees
Each month Tony Wolcott or John Doyen will share valuable information regarding area trees.
The Following Article is Reprinted With Permission From Our Friends At Bay Area Woodturners:
Cinnamomum camphora – Camphor tree
Evergreen, large spreading broadleaf tree, found in moderate temperatures,
close to the bay. Easily identified by the camphor smell in crushed leaves, or
any time the wood is worked. Look for light green leaves with occasional red-
dish yellow leaf in the canopy. The oil is used for many purposes including
Cedrus deodara – Deodar cedar
One of four true cedars, this coniferous evergreen is a com-
mon landscape tree and becomes very large. The wood is high-
ly prized for furniture work, tables, and benches. Its cedar fragrance serves as an in-
sect repellant. Best way to identify true cedars is by the cone which sits vertically atop
older branches. Mature cones release the bracts, leaving a stick like center. Deodar
cedars also have distinctive drooping branches and top. This wood can be worked
green or dried with distinctive growth rings and grain patterns. The wood is soft, easy
to work, easy to make mistakes with persistent end-grain.
Juniperus chinensis ‘Torulosa’ – Hollywood juniper
Coniferous evergreen, typical juniper scale like needles with the juniper smell. The cone looks like
a blue berry (flavors gin). This variety is every-
where, usually planted too close to houses. The
arching long branches with dark green color are
popular with architects and artists but not
home owners. The grain swirls in and out with
included bark and the trunk is rarely roundish,
more scalloped like. Small bowls can be easily
turned with beautiful fragrance, complex grain
swirls and contrast with rosewood color heart
and off white sap wood, also good for spindle
work.

turned
Barry’s jam chucks are made to be held in a scroll
chuck and he prefers gripper jaws from Axminster
tools, as he feels these jaws provide a superior grip. http://www.axminster.co.uk/crafts-hobbies/woodturning/woodturners-chucks.
For larger pieces or
turnings that are not
suited to snug fitting
jam chucks Barry fash-
ions well fitted jam
chucks to support the
piece being held. Since
the rest of the turning
has already had finish
applied, strips of padding may be incorporated in the
design to protect the
finished surfaces.
Whether Barry is uti-
lizing a snug or fitted
jam chuck he always
applies multiple
wraps of the 8”
stretch wrap. With the
jam chuck mounted in
a scroll chuck on the
lathe and the turned
piece in position, Bar-
ry begins wrapping
the turning to the jam
chuck. He stretches
the wrap “tight as a
drum” as he criss-
crosses the jam chuck
and turning. Barry
will continue to wrap
the piece until he is confident that it is held securely.
He only leaves enough of the bottom of the turning
exposed to allow him to complete the turning neces-
sary, sand as required and apply finish.
While the main emphasis of Barry’s presentation was
on mounting a turning
for the final steps, he
also passed on a couple
of choice tips.
When preparing a blank
to receive a glued on
waste block, turn a
shallow recess in the
bottom of the blank to
locate the waste block.
The recess needs only
to be deep enough to
keep the waste block
from slipping out of
position during glue-
up.
Another fine idea Barry shared is to use wooden
shims, the type used in
construction, as sanding
blocks for tight spots
around the foot of a
turning. Simply take a
shim and split it or cut it
to a handy width, say a
half an inch wide.
Lightly touch the
shim’s tapered face to a
disc or belt sander to
smooth the face and
sharpen the front edge.
Then, by holding strips
of sandpaper over the
sharp edge he can sand into tight places.

UTAH WOODTURNING SYMPOSIUM
MAY 15-17, 2014
Utah Valley University campus at UCCU Events Center
800 W University Parkway
Orem, UT 84058
This year’s theme will be “A Tribute to Dale Nish”. Dale started the Utah Woodturning Symposium in 1979. We are bringing back
many demonstrators from some of those earlier symposiums to help us pay tribute to Dale. Dale Nish passed away one week after
our 2013 Symposium. He was so happy that week, visiting with many of his old friends and meeting new ones. He wasn’t one to
show much emotion but at times the twinkle in his eyes and his big happy grin couldn’t be supressed. We all miss him so much and
want to share what he contributed to the woodturning world.
2014 Demonstrators include: Kip Christensen, Hans Weissflog, Jakob Weissflog, Art Majerus, Ray Key, Mike Mahoney, Steve
Gray, Stuart Mortimer, Bonnie Klein, Kirk DeHeer, Bill Ooms, Nelson Cassinger, Al Stirt, David Ellsworth, Kurt Hertzog, Jerry
Kermode, Glenn Lucas, Don Russell, Tom Sorenson, Keith Tompkins, Richard Raffan, Rex Burningham, Joe Wagner and many
more.
Wood Event at John Whittier’s
Members of SVW descended upon John Whittier’s backyard on Saturday, the 15th, to take advantage of
John’s hard work. He had prepared and stacked piles of prime green turning blanks and a table of kiln dried
boards, all available for a nominal donation. Coffee, doughnuts and Mackenzie’s chocolate hearts added to
the congenial atmosphere of friends gathering.

Wanted Subject: Looking for a 3520 Powermatic for sale Hello Turners Clubs, Chris here I am a member of the Nor-Cal Wood turners association and I am trying desperately to find a Powermatic 3520 for sale. I know that these are hard to find. This is why I am asking the clubs if they could post a wanted ad for me on their site or in their news-letter or some way of getting it in front of turners that may want to sell their lathe but have not yet posted it on craigslist or other sites. If I’m asking for too much please let me know. Thank you for your help. Kindest Regards, G. Chris Jensen Jr. [email protected]

David is most famous for his thin walled hollow forms turned thru a small opening, usually from spalted
woods or with natural voids. His development of tools and techniques for thin wall “blind” hollowing
revolutionized woodturning, and contributed greatly to the explosive growth of woodturning in the
1980’s and 1990’s. He is a founding member of the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) and
served as its first President, nurturing and guiding it thru its early years. Without David’s early
commitment and unending support it is doubtful that the AAW would be the organization it is today! A
heartfelt thanks from all of us, David!!
David’s first book “Ellsworth on Woodturning” continues to receive rave reviews from the woodturning
community.

SVW Meeting Minutes for 2/5/14 by Gary Keogh
The meeting was called to order by Mike L. at 7:00. There was the usual greeting and then Mike called for any new members or
visitors.
Greg Peck, a friend of John Whittier and myself, raised his hand and indicated he had just paid his dues and was now an official
member. A visitor, Theo Althuiszes, introduced himself as a visitor from the Santa Cruz area. I spoke with him later at the break
and he indicated that he was not joining at the time but might do so later.
The Wood Fest on Saturday February 15th 9:00 to 11:00 at John Whittier’s house was brought up again and coffee and doughnuts
will be served. Penalty wood will be handed out to those wood turning wood recipients. Some free wood will be available and
turning rounds as well. At $5.00 for three rounds the proceeds will pay for the goodies and any excess will be donated to the club.
Dennis Lillis talked about upcoming programs:

President’s Challenge was next on the agenda. The challenge this month “Alternate Chucking” ie, use a form of chucking your
work, which you have not used in 3 months, other than a scroll chuck or between centers for at least part of the turning. This could
be a vacuum chuck, jam chuck, face plate, or a homemade custom-made chuck. Show your chuck with the finished piece.
After that was Show & Tell and the drawing for wood and a gift certificate. Gordon Patnude & Dick Westfall each chose a piece of
wood and Bob Gerenser got the gift certificate.
Raffle tickets were sold during the break for a beautiful Chocolate Heart filled with more chocolate offerings. This was donated by
Thelma & Colin MacKenzie. Following the break the raffle drawing was held and yours truly won
Dennis Lillis introduced our evening’s guest demonstrator Barry Uden.
His demo was informative and entertaining.
The meeting was then adjourned.

Mike Lanahan and I recently paid a visit to Doug Ryan and we were impressed with a couple of devices he
had built. One of his mechanisms is a type of cam-follower that describes the path of a Rose Engine Lathe
cutter. By adjusting the spacing you achieve radically differ-
ent patterns. It allows an experienced ornamental turner to
visualize the pattern a particular cam will produce.
Another fixture that Doug was working on is intended to cut
equal sided wood hexagons on a
table saw. One of the clever features
of this apparatus is the parallel spac-
ing bars he incorporates.
Doug’s hexagon fixture is, in fact, a table saw sled.
And that brings us to this month’s tip: Doug ripped a piece of stock to the same
thickness as his sled’s base. He then re-sawed the piece at an angle.
On the bottom-side Doug bored holes to accommodate two rare-earth magnets.
In use the beveled piece is placed next to the table saw blade on
the drop-off side of the sled. When a piece of wood on the
sled is cut the drop-off piece falls onto the beveled surface and falls out of harm’s way, rather than chancing
being thrown back be the spinning saw blade. A safety device that is elegant in its simplicity.
