ASK THE EXPERTS
(1) Jo Ann asked the spelling of discount stores in Dallas. DAISO.
(2) she asked spelling of glue that was discussed in January Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue ---it comes with several tips to allow you to glue in very small or large spaces. Several of our members have used the glue and stated it is easy to use and holds well. Harmon stated that the last magazine on page 69 has an ad showing 5 crosses. If you send the artist 4 forever stamps with your name and address, he will send you 19 patterns in addition to the 5 shown. Harmon did as directed and received a full package of patterns.

BRAG ITEMS
HARMON cut several compound designs using names on both sides. He cut from western red cedar.
David Borg showed us several carved figures. He cuts the pieces out on scroll saw, then carves.
Beverly showed some book ends that she has started cutting, These designs show a man pushing and pulling the bookends. Very cute
David Atkins cut a very intricate pattern of a running horse designed by Charles Hand. He cut 3 layers and mounted them on bases. Very delicate and shows horses at their best.
Grover Pierce cut several snow flake ornaments from very thin wood. Beautiful and fragile He also made a scissor holder using maple and cut with a lathe.
Tommy Cherry cut a cross with hearts. He also cut a holder for yarn that will be used while friend crochets.
Jo Ann brought several crosses using different patterns and woods. She also brought 4 military ornaments.
Faye showed us her collection of small animals that she cut, painted and glued together. Very cute She sells her items at an antique mall.
Kirk brought 2 items cut from plywood. Jesus cross and item with larger hand holding smaller hand.
Bobby brought various crosses and items that he and his wife adapted and painted. He also showed us his patterns that he hands out to children at craft shows. One side looks like a bunny, turn it over and it is a duck. Painting each side helps to show off these animals. Bobby also showed us pictures of crosses that he designs and cuts from acrylic that a customer provides. They are beautiful. Demo –we used our demo time to discuss our event on March 7 at Woodcraft in Plano. We are excited to show off our work and try to get customers interested in scrolling. We will be handing out our brochures as we talk to customers
