This
newspaper rack with a clever fake of a French country finish was made by
Walter Mason. The faux finish started wth two coats of barn red
paint under a coat of diluted black paint. Then he sanded between
coats to expose the red creating an old worn look.

Ridg
Gilmer credited Jack Hutchison for his gracious help in making this fine
breadboard top table of birch. The breadboard plugs are of
walnut. Only the center pegs of the breadboard edges are
glued.
The
finish is natural danish oil. Ridg has some advice: dark
walnut stain and birch are incompatible; you get blotches.

Kooser treated members to M&Ms courtesy of his finely crafted
"People Feeder". His wife, Vicky, painted the

star to fit. |

John
Gay gave a talk to the club on things to do when your dead in
Denver...well....not literally but what you can do when you're on the
road. John explained how he packed a minimum of items to take on
the plane; a roll of carving tools, clamps, small straight saw,
coping saw, small drill and bits, table pad and even a
dustpan/broom. Maids love him for cleaning up after himself.
John also recommends a first aid kit for those annoying nicks and
gouges.
Be
sure to bring gloves and a thumb guard.
Pictured
are examples of John's work. The box is topped with carved
mahogany on top of corian. The spoon is of mahogany although it does
look like it is out of Africa.
