TOM PENDLETON

Director

I AM EXCITED TO JOIN THE CAPE COD WOODTURNERS BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS. MY EXPERIENCE WITH WOODTURNING IS VERY RECENT AND CURRENTLY CONSIDER MYSELF A NOVICE TURNER. I OWN A MIDI RIKON LATHE WHICH ALLOWS ME TO TURN SMALLER PROJECTS. I LIKE TO TURN SMALL BOWLS, PENS, ICE CREAM SCOOPS, ROLLING PINS AND WHATEVER OTHER SMALL PROJECTS I CAN LATCH MY HANDS ONTO.
I STARTED TURNING A LITTLE OVER 3 YEARS AGO AT THE ENCOURAGEMENT OF DAVE ARNONE. BEGINNING WITH THE INTRODUCTORY WOOD TURNERS COURSE AT THE CAPE COD CULTURAL CENTER AND THEN PARTICIPATING IN THE TURN AND LEARN PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE THE BASIC SKILLS TO CONTINUE MY EFFORTS.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE PROGRAM COMMITEE AND THE NOMINATION COMMITEE.
I AM VERY ANXIOUS TO SEE WHERE THE NEXT TWO YEARS LEAD US AS WE MOVE FORWARD. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING FROM ANY AND ALL ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS AS WE CONTINUE TO GROW.

I AM A RETIRED FEDERAL CONTRACTING OFFICER AND WORKED PRIMARILY WITH JOB TRAING AND EDUCATION FOR AT RISK YOUTH. MY WIFE PAM AND I ARE FORMER PEACE CORPS VOLUNTERS IN CENTRAL AFRICA – THE CONGO, WORKING AS TEACHERS. WE CURRENTLY RESIDE RIGHT DOWN THE POND FROM DAVE AND SANDY IN SOUTH YARMOUTH.
