CJWA is very pleased and excited to announce that we have the privilege of having Glen Huey in to teach a day long class on finishing. Glen will run through the basics of easy to apply finishes that will enhance any woodworking project, and we plan on having plenty of hands on time to try out and practice the techniques that he will show us. Anyone who has seen pictures of Glen’s work already knows that this is a great opportunity to improve your finishing techniques and results, whether you are using highly figured woods or more traditional woods for your own woodworking projects.
Glen Huey is a Senior Editor of Popular Woodworking Magazine, a long-time professional woodworker, author, DVD host and woodworking teacher. In addition to building projects for the magazine, Glen heads up all of the product testing for Popular Woodworking Magazine. Glen’s latest DVD is “Finishes That Pop with Glen D. Huey”.
The finishing workshop will be on Saturday, June 19, starting at 8:30 AM, at Clover Hill Farms, located on Hospital Rd & Rt 524 (Atlantic Ave) in Wall, NJ. Lunch will be provided. The cost of the workshop will be $25 for CJWA members. Non-members may attend for $45, which includes the prorated cost of a CJWA membership for 2010. Attendees are encouraged to bring two 12” long pieces of planed/sanded/finish-ready 4/4 wood of the species of their choice ready for finishing for the hands on sessions. Brushes and other supplies will be provided, but attendees are encouraged to bring your own brushes as well, if there is a particular brush that you like to use.
Space for the Glen Huey finishing workshop is very limited, so reservations will be made on a first come, first served basis. To reserve your space, mail a check payable to the Central Jersey Woodworkers Association for the appropriate amount to Doug Poray, the CJWA treasurer at:
Please note: If you signed up for the Glen Huey finishing seminar at the last meeting but did not pay for the seminar, you still need to mail a check to Doug to reserve your place. If you wait until the June CJWA meeting to pay for the seminar, you run the risk of having the seminar fill up before then.
