We had four gatherings in February - February 2nd, February 8th, February 16th, and February 17th.  Below are photos and descriptions of  the projects discussed during the Show & Tell portion of the meetings.

John Anderson faced the elements and drove down from Lake Effect Farm near Watertown to show this stripped cutting board.  He used Brazilian Cherry and Maple.  The finish is mineral oil and wax.

Bill Keller's wife makes quilts.  Sometimes she makes mini-quilts.  Bill made this oak mini-quilt stand so Suzanne can display her pieces.  Bill used a Tung oil finish.

Tom Cooney recently returned to the club after the kids "grew up".  He sent photos of two recent projects.  The walnut and cherry segmented bowl is the first one he created using the "bowl from a board" techniques.  The second is a wonderful earring holder with walnut decorative elements and an oak frame.

Jim Kent created this beautiful box elder, walnut, cherry, and mahogany segmented lidded bowl.  He finished it with oil.  Jim also turned these two maple segmented bowls and then he and his wife added two different basket illusion patterns.  Each has 13,680 beads.  These are finished with spray polyurethane.

Ray Smith is the scheduled demonstrator for March 2022 on wizard wands with pockets.  He showed a variety of stages of the wand as a preview for attendees.

John Petzke scrolled this cute teddy bear for his wife for their anniversary.  He finished it with Bush oil.

Charlie LaPrease's nephew Larry owns the Sugar Top Bakery on Old Liverpool Road.  On a recent stop, Larry asked if Charlie could fix the handle on the rolling pin at the bottom of the photo.  The handle on the left was broken off.  It now sports a cherry replacement.  Charlie also made a new 30" mulberry rolling pin with cherry handles for his nephew, a big guy with big handles.  

Barbara Raymond-LaPrease showed a variety of projects that she recently completed.  First, a collection of heart-based earrings she created from a variety of woods.  She used these in a presentation on making jewelry to the Scrolling SIG of the Gwinnett Woodworkers.  For the same presentation, he created the love heart and turtle pendants.  Separately, Barbara created a few ornaments that are shown below.

Robert Ward produced another collection of plaques for the February Show & Tell Scrolling session.  It included three dog memorial plaques and three wedding/anniversary plaques.  Robert uses 1/2" boards for his plaques and adds a 1/4" plywood backer that is generally painted black.

Jim Yonkers creates a wide variety of projects.  The "Twig" bowl is box elder to which he needed to add epoxy to the bottom to avoid splitting.  He then stenciled the pattern onto the bowl and painted it with acrylics.  
     The driftwood bird was created by Jim by joining two unrelated pieces of driftwood using a dowel and glue.  He then added brass rods for the legs and plywood for the feet.  The bird stands about 4x6".  As needed, he added acrylics to highlight various parts.
     Jim created the 40" long multi-face wood spirit carving from a piece of maybe cottonwood bark he found along the Cayuga Lake shoreline.  Jim added glass eyes and shark teeth as well as using acrylics to finish it off.
