The East Texas Woodturners club is sponsoring it’s second annual Freedom Pens Turn-a-Thon on May 21, 2005. This endeavor is generously hosted by Tom & Glinda Bauer, owners of The Country Wood Pile.

Last year we turned 174 Freedom Pens using only 4 lathes. However, Steve Hagler was responsible for 68 of those pens himself and we don’t anticipate this happening again. We will have 10 lathes set up this year and will have at least 200 kits ready to turn.

We will be honored this year with the presence of some members of the Hunt County Woodturners. HCW president, Dan Henry, is responsible for organizing many FPP efforts in East Texas and we are pleased that he and his club are supporting us this year.

The Country Wood Pile is located in Tyler at 2215 S. Broadway. That’s in the Steinmart shopping center, across from the big cemetery between downtown and the south loop. Please visit our web site at www.easttexaswoodturners.org for a map.

Snacks and drinks will be provided but if you have any personal preferences, feel free to bring your own.

Please direct any questions to Ed Heuslein at 903-834-3838.
