George Taylor's platter was masked, gilded and treated with the appropriate chemicals and buffed etc. It is displayed here as a first effort with whatever caveats one might place on a first effort but it looks great. Tom Canfield showed us a startlingly grained piece of spalted sycamore in the form of a goblet/bowl. Rick Webster has been in the capable hands of Roger Arnold and showed us two pieces, a maple box and a cottonwood bowl.

Raúl Peña showed us a box that he is in some quandary about the finish. I hope he got some good ideas. The carving on the top is worth highlighting. Roger Arnold did not do all his work teaching Rick. He brought a box elder box with a maple finial.
