From the February meeting ‘Show and Tell’ table

The February General Meeting was well attended with some good pieces on display on the Show and Tell table.

Bob talked of his trip to Tasmania and the fabulous carved Huon Pine panels of ‘The Wall’. Bob also had a bowl turned from Oregon.

Steve showed a couple of boxes, including one he is making for the ‘Our Clarence’ exhibition that is being organised by Coldstream Gallery, Ulmarra. Bob talked about the process of making his ‘Wave Box’ and the problems of bending the Red Cedar wave inlays.

Roy showed his work in progress – also entered for the ‘Our Clarence’ exhibition. Roy used an old guitar body without a neck. It features a green forest scene ‘diorama’ set into the body of the guitar, with a neck made from ‘Compwood’, twisted and gnarled, with a carved lizard. Roy is in the process of adding sound and lights.

Terry showed a ‘Wave Vase’ based on the Wave Bowls that he has been experimenting with.

Alan showed a double sided diamond plate kit that he bought from Timbecon.

New member Leonardo showed several puppets he has made – Leonardo has made many puppets, but these are the first he has made of carved wood. He also showed the first bowl he made. The bowl was made on a Saturday morning session at the CVWA Workshop, with Roy’s advice and guidance. All in all, it was a very credible piece.
