String inlay is a decorative technique that can add instant appeal to a chair back, tabletop, jewelry box, table leg, or other piece of furniture. You can use a Dremel to cut the narrow recess required for this accent, but Terry Dote, our July demonstrator will show us how he uses hand tools to integrate string inlay into his beautiful pieces.
This session will be held via Zoom. All members and guests are welcome to join in this session. If you are not a member, send a note to woodcny@gmail.com to request the invite.
Following Terry's demonstration, there will be plenty of time for Show & Tell. Also, to allow more time for members to catch up, we will open the meeting up no later than 6pm.

She will explain their biology, i.e. why, when, and how long they are there; their ecological roles; their impacts on wood-in-use; and things to pay attention to when working with wood especially with imported materials.
