Looking like a quarterback getting ready to throw a pass, there is nothing cheesy about how John Gay, cooked up this sandwich out of clear white wood, a.k.a. poplar. The stain is cherry and the cheese is felt. |
| ************************************************************************* | |
| Richard Storm must have figured out that John Gay needed salt and pepper, so Richard crafted this neat salt and pepper set. The napkin holder was a suggestion from his wife. A lovely way to utilize mesquite wood. | 
|

 |
Lon Kelley crafted this two-leaf table out of cherry and the ribbons out of mahogany and walnut. Lon provided a slide show on how he crafted all the joints involved. |
| ************************************************************************* | |
| Dan Smith brought the knives to "cut" John Gay's sandwich. The handles are of bocote. Dan sanded the handles down to 1000 grit then buffed for the polish. There is no finish on the handles. |

|
Jeremy Grubb explained how he crafted this leg of pecan for a clamp bench. And, this is for HIM and not a customer. |
| ************************************************************************* | |
| Gary Rowen stands proudly by his version of a 17th century English cradle. The cradle is made of red maple. Gary crafted this for his daughter who just delivered a granddaughter for Gary and his wife. | 
 |

Charles Sembera crafted this cradle of red oak for a neighbor's granddaughter. Don't you wish a had a skilled woodworker like Charles for a neighbor? |
| ************************************************************************ | |
| Everett Woolum showed club members some frames he crafted and how he made them. The blue in the painting is a creek bed. |  |
| ************************************************************************* | |
| Steve Willis shows his box of two felt lined drawers. Maple and padauk are the woods he used. Steve did not drill out the inside; he stacked and glued several pieces together. |
