Uel Clanton brought three different sizes of  tool handle, all mesquite. Harold Dykes brought segmented pieces made from ColorPly, the smaller made from cutoffs of the bigger piece; the shape determines the color design; the color ply started out a 3x3x12. Tom Canfield showed a mimosa natural edged bowl.

    James Johnson brought Diatoms #3, 4 and 5 (#1 was last month’s show and tell, #2 didn’t work out), and collaboration with Anna yielded #6 and 7 in a pair of earrings; turning them and putting them together is tricky, the end pieces shrink more than the sleeves, sometimes you have to steam the ends to get them into a workable shape; there is a steep learning curve on these! Anna Rachinsky showed an ash and Indian rosewood hair holder with genuine stones, one of which was given to her at SWAT 2 years ago by LA Cude’s brother-in-law. She also had a lidded box embellished with wood burned ants and trail. And two lidded spalted hackberry boxes, one embellished with a cat catching snails and the other with a cat and dragonflies.
