Show and Tell
Chris Cohen made two bottle stoppers. One was made from SpectraPly and the other from MuttBlanks. Alain Schwartz used a ‘reversed’ bowl to make the frame for this clock. He used a beading tool to create the circular pattern. Michael Boyle inserted dowels to decorate these bowls. He gets better results by inserting the dowels on the side of the bowl rather than the bottom. Dennis Ogren made these two maple bowls. Barry Fromberg made this piece from Banksia Pod. He also made a bamboo/resin bowl as well as a spalted maple burl bowl. Barry Fromberg made this piece from bamboo and resin. This Christmas ornament was made by a member after taking last week’s class from John Holderman. The woods are maple, walnut, padauk, and oak. This lighthouse salt and pepper shaker was made by a member who retired from the Coast Guard. The lighthouse is a replica of the Bodie Island Lighthouse in Cape Hatteras. John Struckmeyer made this extraordinary water-drop shaped piece from pecan. The pith was removed from the base to prevent cracking. He used paste wax as a finish, although he now prefers other finishes to paste wax. John Struckmeyer made this beautiful piece.
