Regular Meeting – John Ames: Flutemaking

This month's meeting of OPCAAW features a demonstration by John Ames on making flutes. John is an Olympia woodturner and wood worker who has turned his interest in Native American flutes into a flute-making hobby. His first flutes were made with PVC pipe, but he quickly turned to wood and has made flutes from a variety of species, including ash, maple, koa, walnut and sapele. He sells flutes under the name Wind Shadow Flutes.

In addition, the meeting will feature announcements, Show and Tell and the wood auction. Members will also have access to our library and to sandpaper and CA glue sales.

Gathering starts at 6 p.m. Announcements begin at 6:30.
