John C. Lucas is scheduled to demo to our club on Saturday, May 3, 2014.  John has been working with wood for about 35 years and started turning about 25 years ago.
John teaches a workshop each year at the Appalachian Center for Craft.  He has been a demonstrator at several regional symposiums such as the TAW in Tennessee and the Desert Symposium in Phoenix.  John has also demonstrated at several of the National AAW Symposiums.  John has written articles for Woodturning, More Woodturning, American Woodturner, Woodturning Design, and Woodcraft.

You can often find his warm sense of humor and woodturning knowledge posted on many of the woodturning forums such as WoodCentral.com and woodturner.org.
He is known for his hand mirrors and one of a kind sculptural pieces.  He is known to create work using a wide variety of techniques and many different materials.  John is also actively interested in metal working and consequently makes or modify's many of his lathe tools.
