Koury proudly showed off his duck wood oak scroll sawed clock.
Denis
Muras did a fine job with these tractors and truck. Tractors are
baltic birch plywood on walnut and mahogany. The truck, an Apache
Chevrolete, is of birch and mahagony.
Dean
Hemphill started with the dish first then made the handle and rack to
match. The base is maple, the handle cherry. The pattern in
the handle is scrollsawed.
Marcus
Brun showed us his table saw sled that he made of one half inch baltic
birch plywood. MDF or baltic birch plywood is always recommended
for fences.
Shaz,
owner of Woodworking by Shaz and our guest speaker for April, explained
how he used spalted pecan and purple heart to craft this fine table.
Shaz used a plywood base under the grooved top pieces. Lacquer
finished it. He stressed that it is very important to set up your
saws, jigs, etc. once and make all of your cuts to the same size at the
same time. Muy Importanto!
In
this picture Shaz peers into a spalted pecan wooden bowl that he
made. Do you think he sees the future or his face?
These two pieces of a mantle
are held up to show how they would look gracing someone's
fireplace. Another fine piece by Shaz
