New Lathes

New Lathes

The AWA Board in August 2024 approved the purchase of six new lathes for the Kundrat Learning Center.  The new lathes are Record Power Herald model purchased from Turners Warehouse.  Thank you Chad  and Amy for all your support in making this happen!   Check out the Members Only Section – Kundrat Learning Center for more pictures.

The new lathes will be a substantial improvement to the learning center environment.  Having an identical lathe for each turner will enable the instructors to ensure that each turner is able to follow the instruction easily and accurately.

Wow a few holes...

Cottonwood with a few holes! Larry Jurgens tackled this cottonwood that he got out of a discard bin.  It was doomed for the firepit but was rescued.  Larry did some resin magic with the one.  He held his breath a lot while turning!
