ASK THE EXPERTS ---Tommy Cherry   questioned how to finish wood he had purchased in a local store. Several suggestions were given, including preconditioning dip, or Linseed oil.  It was suggested to test out scraps from his project to get an idea of how it will look.


BRAG TABLE
JO ANN made a plaque for a man but there was a misunderstanding.  He wanted to cut it himself so I  sent him a picture only and kept the plaque with a saying BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE 
Bobby –magnets for a family beach trip to remind each person of their fun.   He also cut Prizes for games using a beach theme
Using cotton sheeting, they attached to typing paper and found sayings could be typed on the fabric.  ---Bobby cut a very delicate tree pattern he got from Etsy. 
David Atkins  cut a Steve Good pattern of a chain saw.  The chain  actually looked like a chain.
He cut two clocks for his wife. The clocks were purchased from Wooden Teddie Bear

David Borg     carved a Christmas necklace .  He carved figures with hearts and trees.   Very detailed.  
He also carved a house that also looked like a man fishing.
Scrolled and cut Celtic cross from cherry wood. This used his scrolling and carving abilities. 

Bob McCary  uses his scrolling as well as carving by cutting a bottle stopper of Uncle Sam.
He cut a tree that was cut in a wooden plaque as well as free standing –very ingenious.

Tommy Cherry   cut crosses on stand.  (2) he also cut several plaques cutting both dogs and kittens.
(3) Tommy also cut some Sue Mey patterns showing animals under an arch with free moving figures.
Faye cut a Gemini puzzle and two painted figures showing Gemini which are free standing. 
(2) Vase.   Faye put together a vase by cutting 2 bowls using an angle of 32 degrees. This project shows your ability to cut at an angle, lots of sanding and gluing the parts that make a vase.   The wooden bowls were made from ¾ wood and sprayed with varnish finish. Bearly Art Glue gives you the ability to place the glue exactly where you want it.  Beautiful work 

 

DEMONSTRATION    Jo Ann gave a demo on cutting and putting together a 3 layered Nativity. The pattern is located in the book  FUN AND EASY by Patrick Spielman.
