| John Gay explained why this vase is supported by special holders that he crafted for a neighbor who needed centerpieces for banquet tables. Without the support and with a bold spray of flowers it can be easily tipped over. To remove the glass vase he unscrews one leg. A wonderful vase to show off those long stemmed Texas roses, eh, podna? |

Gregory Owens explained why this cutting board is a $400 project -- he bought a jointer and used it to make the joints. Greg said he soaked the glued up board in water for five minutes to raise the grain and then sanded. Next the black walnut, cherry and hard rock maple finished with mineral oil will greet the edge of a chef's knife. |

| This child's head board of solid and plywood maple will certainly be appreciated by Denis Muras's grandson. |
