Next Meeting...... July 6 , 2009 Oren Zehner, Demonstrator
My name is Oren Zehner. I was born in Tonkawa, OK where I attended Northern Oklahoma College and finished my teaching degree at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, OK. While there I met my wife Patricia and we were married in 1976 and settled in Broken Arrow, OK for 32 years. I have two daughters one of which lives in Tulsa and the other lives in Dallas. I started turning in high school and continued while I taught for 29 years both in the public and vocational schools with classes in woodworking, drafting, cabinetmaking and woodturning for high school students and adults. Once retired from teaching I sought out another career in Microtechnology and Watchmaking and am employed with Richemont North America in Ft. Worth in Quality Control where I look at Cartier, IWC, Baume and Mercier, Piaget and Panerai watches every day. When I graduated with my second career we moved from Oklahoma and settled in Roanoke and one of the requirements of the house was a three car garage where I would have a place for my lathes. The three lathes I own include a Vicmarc Mini, One-Way 1224 with extension and a VB36 bowl lathe. I do not specialize in any particular turning style although I like turning miniatures and that was what actually peaked my interest in a watch making career. I am a current member of the Northeastern Oklahoma Woodturners Association where I presided as president, vice-president, treasurer and demonstrator for many years. And am a member of AAW and Golden Triangle Woodturners. If you have ever watched the Woodturning Workshop hosted by Tim Yoder from Tulsa, OK you might have seen me on the television. I have attended several AAW and SWAT symposiums and numerous seminars which include classes taught by John Jordan, Ron Flemming, Frank Sudol, Trent Bosch, etc.
