ED PUTNAM

I turned my first bowl around 1970, then 48 years later my dad gave me his lathe which inspired me to start turning again in 2018. After moving to the Cape in 2019 I started watching numerous YouTube videos trying to improve my woodturning skills. I attended my first Cape Cod Woodturners meeting in March of 2020, then Covid hit. After which I could spend a lot more time focusing on my woodturning. I feel my skills have significantly improved from my association with the Club and the generosity time and knowledge of our members. Dave Arnone, Clarke Buchanan, Mike Grady and Bob Reynolds, among others, have been very helpful in mentoring me and developing my turning skills. Hopefully I will be able to pay forward the assistance and mentoring I have received to others and inspire them to try something new.
