Welcome Don, the Georgia chapter will have it's quarterly meeting next Saturday at the Woodcraft at 8560 Holcomb Bridge Rd., Suite 115, Alpharetta, GA 30022. The meeting is from 9:00 to 2:00.
Also, Mark James will be there with the IAP Pen collection which will be on display for all of us to drool over.
Forgot to add to my previous post. There is a woodturning club in Ellijay- Apply Valley Woodturners; I believe that is the correct name. They are a chapter affiliated with the American Association of Woodturners. You can get information in the AAW website with a chapter search- www.woodturner.org. Might be good to visit for the information that they can give you.
