Ken Morton showed a natural edge bowl of Ornamental Cherry. He has a
new finish, Formby's Tung Oil. He also brought a pair of finial boxes
one an endgrain box, Mexquite, Cocobolo and a copper inlay. The other
was a Big Leaf Maple with a Texas Blackwood finial. Jerry DeGroot
brought a flyswatter that he claims is highly functional with a leather
swatter. Roger Felps showed a large Mesqite urn/cookie jar.
Uel Clanton showed us the work of a former HCT member, John Roberts.
John had made a serviceable Mesquite enclosed vessel and his wife had
used a scroll saw to form the pierced design on the lid. George Taylor
brought an Ash Bowl from an already roughed out stock with one coat of
oil. His Box Elder bowl had a great distribuion of color and grain.
Paul Taylor brought a nice pair of Dogwood bowls, but he was unhappy
with the cloudy CA finish and was looking for hints.
Dale Lemons had a box of Maple, Cherry and Turquoise that had a picture
inside of Dale in Korea in 1952 to show what 62 years does to a body.
Tom Canfield had a Maple bowl with a hole and rather than plugging up
the ole he declared it a yarn bowl. He also showed a Chinaberry and
Huisache natural edged bowls. Will Aymond showed us a Mesquite and
sterling silver cane that he made from a parasol. At the request of the
customer he died the Mesquite black. Harold Dykes brought a vase made
mostly from Mulberry.
