If you are in town and running errands instead of getting out to the shed, drop into your newsagents and get the latest issue of Australian Woodworker magazine. The magazine features an article by CVWA member and Jacaranda festival stalwart Bob Aitken on his adventures in making clocks with poured resin decorations.
Congratulations to Bob!
Our hard working Secretary, Lyn Roberts, got a phone call – did the CVWA want some timber?
Turns out that Valley Tree Services had been engaged to remove a large Jacaranda from the Grafton High School. Adam, from Valley Tree Services, called Lyn and asked if we would like some timber…
So Saturday morning, a team of members turned up with trailers in tow.
Adam helped load the trailers, and the timber was taken to the Ulmarra Shed, where there was a definite struggle to unload the trailers. Then back to Grafton for another load. In all, two trips were made – and Adam was kind enough to drop off a truck load of more billets of Jacaranda on his way home to Coffs Harbour.
The tired but satisfied club members rewarded themselves with a good cup of tea and biscuits before they headed home.
Many thanks to Adam from Valley Tree Services of Coffs Harbour.
And how did he find us? He found our website!
Thanks to Lyn Roberts for the story, and Rob Chesworth for the photos! And thanks to the club members who helped out.
