Bio

Malcolm Tibbetts, of South Lake Tahoe, California, has been a worker of wood since his childhood when he built birdhouses in his grandfather's shop. After a long career in ski area management, in the early 90's, he pursued his passion for segmented woodturning. His work resides in many prestigious collections and museums around the world and he has won numerous awards for his art. He shares his passion for this unique art form by conducting demonstrations at national symposiums, woodworking schools, and club meetings. He is a founder of "Segmented Woodturners," an international organization with over 500 members.

Presentations

  • This is How I do it - This is an overview from start to finish on how I design, cut, glue, turn, and finish a vessel. I will show several techniques that improve accuracy and save time.
  • Ribbon and Tube Construction - This will include a lesson on the compound-mitering of staves. It will also cover how to taper individual rings into usable tube components.
  • Stabilizing and use of thin veneers - I'll show the actual process of building a photo and how it is incorporated into a vessel or a wall hanging. We with then cover the stabilizing process from start to finish. And I'll talk about the advantages of using stabilized wood.
