Item Description
Spend a day in a one-on-one tutorial with Roger Abrahamson, instructor at North House Folk School, learning the art of traditional bowl turning using a foot-powered spring-pole lathe. Roger’s specialty is creating Norwegian ale bowls, inspired by his immigrant grandmother’s ale bowl from the old country. He will instruct the winning bidder in the use of the lathe and other tools of the trade. Roger has been a woodturner for 27 years, working exclusively with a spring-pole lathe for the past two decades. He is a favorite among North House instructors and is likely to pull out his banjo to accompany you as you work on the lathe. This auction item is suitable for beginners as well as experienced woodturners interested in exploring the traditional, human-powered craft.
Item Special Note
