A look at the food court in the Student Center |
The dining hall was a combination of students and symposium attendees |
After lunch on Friday, I attended Mike Mahoney's session on Burial Urns with threaded lids |
|

Mike hollows an urn ... |
and checks it for inside surface quality |
A drawing showing the inside side wall results depending on tool selection and technique |
Mike explains why he uses Boxwood for his inserted threads |

An example is passed around for everyone to examine |
The Boxwood is hard enough to thread well and is inserted into the neck of the urn |
Mike demonstrates the cutting of the thread |
Here is a finished urn with the contrasting Blackwood top |

The Blackwood not only contrasts but is a good wood to thread |
A better look at the inserted Boxwood thread |
My afternoon session was about marketing by Jerry Kermode |
Jerry's session was well attended as he covered the techniques needed to be successful in the marketplace |

Friday evening brought the traditional steak roast in the park |
This year, the weather didn't cooperate at all |
It was cold and rainy in general and even colder at this altitude |
Everyone broke out their foul weather gear and headed for the high country |
