Not the sharpest tool in the box?
David Knittle has the cure. Join MHBS for a November 22 Tool Sharpening Workshop with David Knittle at PFM Bonsai in West Charlton. Bring your dull tools and watch David make them sharp again. Visitors are welcome so it’s a great time to check out the club.
And there’s more! Larch wiring and pottery making workshops mark our march into 2016 and winter activities.
Tokonoma Workshop Results
David Knittle returned last weekend for the long awaited MHBS Tokonoma Workshop at PFM Bonsai. Two days of vigorous sanding, staining, sanding, finishing, sanding, assembly and sanding under David’s careful eye produced seven gorgeous lighted tokonomas suitable for shohin. David then gave a great Sunday afternoon presentation on tool sharpening. Thank you David!
Sharpen Tools with David Knittle September 30
Whoever says David Knittle is not the sharpest tool in the box doesn’t know David Knittle.
On Sunday, September 30, Mr. Knittle, a master wood carver and woodworker, is back to teach us how to keep our tools sharp and well-maintained.
Good bonsai requires good tools. MHBS club members, be sure to bring your tools if you’d like them sharpened after the presentation, and David will sharpen them, fee is $4 per tool. Mark your tools so you know what’s yours.
BYO lunch is at noon and the program starts at 1:00 at PFM Bonsai in Charlton. As always, if you’re not a club member but would like to join us, we welcome guests to the presentation. Just contact Pauline for directions at 518-882-1039.
