James Johnson showed a beautiful box elder
bowl with a large filled area at the base. Joel Haby brought a bottle
stopper of cocobolo with maple Celtic knot. Rick Webster brought two bowls
of different style from box elder along with a strange
shot-glass-toothpick-holder whatever also box elder.
Phil Taylor showed a bowl of English walnut. Two striking pieces
by Merle Olson were both of beautifully colored Chinese pistache with
Waterlox finish. The first, a bowl, was large and thin and graceful. The
second, a hollow form was made to display a later ornament coming out of the
“bowl”. Will Aymond brought an elevated platter of rare and expensive
pernambuco raised off the ground by a well-balanced foot of black-dyed
mesquite. John Stegall showed an unfinished bowl of walnut.
Kathy Roberts had two bowls, one of pecan and the other of walnt with turquoise inlays and natural edge to one side.
