 September meeting was a presentation by Dr Podlone on wood toxicity. See the home page for the details and the video.
Good news is that there are no reports of lung carciogens in wood dust. Nasal passage problems are another story.
He advocates the use of a good dust collector, a very good respirator and a nasal wash.
President's Challenge and
Show-and-Tell: had a good turnout
 Winslow a mahogany bowl, Bob Tang a Black Acacia multi-purpose bowl. Don Jensen a Black Oak bowl, Cecil a natural edge bowl and a goblet plus mallet.
Lou a series of shakers and caliedoscopes, Lonnie a Olive small natural edge, Starry a Pear bowl, natural edge, Phil a segmented bowl, John Ross a carob bowl, Ed Howes a nice bowl.
 George Lutz a maple burl platter and a colored red natural edge bowl. Pic at right.
Glenn had a Liquid Amber and a maple burl bowls, Claude a torch and a burned bowl, Edgar pieces of a bowl along with some bowls not blown up, Al a nut cracker
 mesquite, Harvey Klein some pieces from Black Acacia and Walnut, and a very nice thin walnut bowl from our President Pat. Peter Pipe had 3 bowls of various kinds.
Lonnie also had a pine cone wine stopper: hardened and finished with CA glue.
Claude's gasoline torch (at left), yes gasoline, is a marvel that hopefully he will continue to survive. Tread carefully in his foot steps.
