Songbird Carving
​With Cathy Kuepper
Sponsored by the Carvers

At the March meeting of the Carvers attendees carve a songbird.  The photos are two of which could be created.  The precut blank is of a small upright songbird.  Cathy Kuepper will talk about what has worked well for her in carving from the blank.  Information about making your own feet will be distributed that will include ordering locations.  Jackie Yonkers will talk about painting techniques.
Look through your driftwood collection or cutoffs to create a habitat for the bird. If you need ideas, our resident expert, Elaine Negrotto will be at the meeting to assist.

Colorizing Your Backers
​With Ron Bachta
Sponsored by the Scrollers
Fretwork projects often need a backer to complete the project.  Backers can enhance the natural beauty of the fretwork.  At this meeting Ron Bachta will discuss adding color to a backer and then demonstrate how to do it. Attendees will be encouraged to paint a backer for a piece of fretwork they have.  As usual, attendees will also have a discussion of their Show & Tell projects, scrolling issues, and other related woodworking topics.  
​NOTE:  Meeting starts at 6:30pm and is held in the Community Room at the Belgium Cold Springs Fire Dept, 7720 River Rd, Baldwinsville.  Directions Here.
