Brian
Honey Presented this cherry Shaker table he began at the Lonny Bird
woodworking school. Brian, never one to rush into things, took a
couple of years to finish the project. He used a water-based die
stain and several coats of lacquer for the finish. Well worth the wait.

Rich
Thomas brought in this almost finished pentagonal cabinet that he will
be entering in the Texas Furniture Makers Show. Woods used were
mahogany, cherry, walnut, maple, wenge, bocate and zebrawood. All
drawers were shaped to fit and most slide on sliding dovetails.
Rich admitted he has become somewhat obsessed with the Golden Mean (Gold
Rectangle & Spiral) proportions and all the design elements were
based on these proportions. Rich used varnish with a wax overlay.

Lee
Knekow crafted this beautiful scrollsaw shelf from a commercial
pattern. Lee used yellow pine he had stored in the shop with a
spray on poly finish.

Ken
Kooser showed more of his Woodline jig-made boxes. The woods he
used were maple and mahogany with a wipe-on poly finish. Keep this
up Ken and you'll win the box making contest.

Robert
Sandlin designed this foldup dish rack from a photo. Robert says
he doesn't know what kind of wood (it's Mystery Wood) but says he used a
poly finish. Orders are pouring in from relatives and neighbors.
