Session Leaders
Rod Bew
Rod is an excellent person to teach beginners to wood turning. Rob will ensure you get the time to understand the lathe, the chisels & the technique to wood turn correctly.
Dennis Conner
Dennis joined WoSP in 2005. He should have the nick name of “No More Gaps” as there does not appear to be anything he does not put a hand too. He continues to assist with the extensions, making toys and working on outside projects, some of which provide the club additional income. His quiet demeanor tends to hide the amount of work he does as he always seems to pick up the jobs no one else wants. Currently working as a session leader, he is able to help anyone with their general handyman project.
