[Crw-talk] A couple of reminders

[Joe Hemmerich]

I wear a blue nylon turning apron, close the neck type from Packard. I find
it warm and the front of my shirt is wet after a short time...so I'm
thinking on ordering from Craft supplies there cotton smock...it is like
$55.00...any one have this and would or would not suggest it? If so my
shirt size is 2X so do these run small? larger than a person's shirt size?
Also my students are turning bowls...we don't have time allowing twice
turned green wood. I have used up all my smaller bowl blanks (6 to 8" dia.)
with bark on...would anyone have one or two to donate? I have 7 students
who will be needing to turn for their first time. They really like the bark
on edge if possible but I'm not particular. I have lots and lots of green
bowl blanks and don't want to resort to turning green and soaking in
denatured alcohol for days. Thanks Joe Hemmerich
