During July online meetings, members displayed a variety of projects in the Show & Tell portion of the meetings.  Below are some of the pieces shown during the meetings! 

From the July 8th Woodworking SIG meeting:

Don Vanderveer built this cherry flag box to hold the flag from the casket of his former mother-in-law who passed in May. The box’s bottom is attached with screws to allow the flag to be easily loaded in.
Jean Disinger was one day shy of 98 when she passed. A Navy veteran and Daughter of the American Revolution (DAR), Jean raised her eight children in Baldwinsville. She was a special lady and often accompanied Sue (daughter) & Don and Barb (daughter) & Dave Stowe to the annual Family Picnic generally held in August. 

 ​Terry Dote showed this veneered and inlaid jewelry box he designed and recently completed. 

Ed Siegel created this beautiful black walnut fruit bowl on his lathe. 
Ed sells his bowls via his website Bayberry Crafts.

Tammra Cook showed two of her recent Uncle Sam sticks with carved faces and painted bodies.
 

Rod Castle continues to generate more peppermills for his Etsy site — Woodcastle.  
 

Bill Keller is working on a variety of veneered projects.  The two foot square chess board is made of curly maple and walnut with a ebony inlay and walnut edging.  The 18” round compass rose has a background of curly maple.  The Rose is ebony and sapele.  There is also an edge inlay of sapele. 

Mel Taber knows a variety of fellow Artisans in the Adirondacks.  One of those Artisans is mounting photos on 1/8” aluminum. He asked Mel for assistance with developing ways to display the mounted photos.
Mel developed a couple options—mounting the photos in turned frames or wood slabs. These are samples he will share with the Artisan during an upcoming trip to the Adirondacks. 

From the July 14th Turning SIG meeting:

Mike Vecellio continues to turn a diverse selection of items with blanks created using a variety of glue-up processes. Shown are two ice cream scoops using Ikea scoops for the end (now available via mail); a segmented blank bottle opener; a pen from an Alumilite blank he created; a bowl and top created from blanks generated with the Wedgie Sled he created based on plans he downloaded from the Seg-Easy website (segeasy.com).
 

Rod Castle turned 5 Pens for Troops using a variety of laminated cut-offs from his peppermills.
The club continues its participation in this program sponsored by Woodcraft.  This is our 7th year participating and we expect to complete nearly 400 pens to add to the 1356 completed by members since 2014!

Larry Prunotto talked about 3 recently turned pet urns, one of which is segmented. He also spoke of his couplers which are described in detail in the July 2020 newsletter.

Charlie LaPrease turned these two 6.5” tall thin-stemmed natural edge goblets after watching the Rudy Lopez live demonstration during the AAW Virtual Symposium on July 10th. As Charlie said, the virtual symposium allowed him to try out the technique shown by Rudy the same evening.
Charlie did not recreate the bend Rudy generates with a peg board but he let the bend happen naturally as the freshly cut branch dried.  Rudy's board is below.
