PRESENTERS
*************************************************************************

Don Hart spoke to club members about cane carving.  He cuts branches from Chinese Tallow trees that form the shape of the cane he wants. He draws the patterns on mylar.  If he can't get to the uncarved cane right after pulling from the tree, Don places the cane in the deep freezer which slows the hardening process thus making carving an easier task.
