Dale Lemons brought a dyed maple bowl that had no great grain, so he blended
a red and black lacquer to good effect. Tom Canfiled showed a nice Mahognay
plate. In church he was inspired to turn a hollow form that seamlessly
blends into a three axis turned base. Will Aymond showed us a rolling pin of
purple and yellow heart.
Kirk Bates showed a lamp from an old WWII bomber parts with a fuel shitch
re-purposed as a light switch and Mesquite highlights. Ken Morton had a
precelet of Red Gum from a kit he got from the last SWAT. John Stegall made
his first try at bottle stoppers also from a SWAT kit. Woods are persimmon
and "trash oak". Philip Medghalchi showed an aromatic cedar while the color
was still bright.
George Taylor showed two bowls that he made at a Jimmy Clews workshop. The
Box Elder bowl was finished with thinned shellac till it would absorb no
more, then Danish oil. The ash form has its open grain finished with black
lacquer ad the central depression "bowl?" gold gilding wax.
