The program by Rich Hoeppner will be on Kumiko. Japanese origin, used in screens , lampshades, and wall hangings. Fine Woodworking had several articles several years ago. Uses lots of jigs that are useful in reproducing other woodworking items.

Live Demonstrations
At our monthly meetings, we see live sessions on particular techniques and projects, delivered by an experienced member. On occasion we invite a nationally known woodworker to provide the demos.
Show-N-Tell
Members are encouraged to bring their latest projects to the monthly meetings and describe what they’ve been working on. Sometimes this is to get help from the group on a problem; many times it provides inspiration and oohs and aahs.
Hands-On Workshops
Scheduled throughout the year include hands-on workshops held at various locations, usually the workshop of a club member.
Shop Talk
Our in-person meetings always include helpful discussion from all experience levels. This could include topics like joinery, tools and techniques, fuming, bending, safety, shop operations and various projects.
