From Mr. Conover:
Understanding Bowl Gouge Grinds
Saturday, January 30, 2021 at 10am Eastern Time, I will be presenting a ZOOM
Primer on understanding bowl gouge grinds. I will demonstrate the various grinds,
starting with the simple square face grind used by Frank Pain and Peter Child
advancing to the currently popular grinds such as the 40/40, Irish and Triple grind.
Secondary bevels will be explained. Questions and answers will probably add as
much to the session as the formal part. Please join me for a program that I put a good
deal of research into.
Forward this invitation to your friends: Until now we have limited these Zoom
Primer Invitations to our present and past student list. It is now time to open up to a
bigger audience, so please forward this invitation on to friends who you think might
enjoy joining the fun. We record these sessions and post them on our YouTube
