Denis
Muras showed off his trucks of birch/walnut and birch/mahagony. These
trucks are models of the Chevrolet Apache series. The wheels are for a model A and use toothpicks for spokes.
Joe
Rice introduces his son, Austin, as the craftsman of the tool tray, a
cub scout project for their den. A cherry minwax stain was applied
with one of Austin's clean socks.
Gene
Volentine didn't have a "proper" name for this cabinet but
explained that the lower cabinet part was meant to stow the chamberpot
(a toilet for you not so seasoned woodworkers). Gene used
quartersawn sycamore and some bird's eye butternut topped with a lacquer
finish. The flat surfaces are high pressure laminate over MDF.
Marcus
Brun cut out the Texas star with a sabre saw and this fine table of red
oak.. Mortise and tenon joints made on a router table join the
rails to the legs. The wood is finished with hand rubbed
polyurethane mixed with 50% mineral spirits.
This
step stool was crafted by Fred Sandoval. The wedge was put in at
an angle instead of straight. He used three quarts of polyurethane
over a min wax walnut stain. The wood is hardware store pine.
Mike
Turner admires Walter Mason's cypress planter in which his wife will plant
herbs. Titebond 2 glue holds everthing together and while not
waterproof will hold up as long as the wood is not submerged ---
hmmmm.....does that apply in Houston???
Ken Kooser holds up his cutting board of
mahogany and maple and then proceeded to talk about his roll around tool
storage cart. It is made of 2x4 and cabinet grade plywood.
The drawers are of baltic birch and the front face is cherry. He
finished the cart with wipe on polyurethane.
