During this time of isolation our club has decided to not hold meetings. Without our meetings we dont get the chance to share our projects and ideas with others in the club. I know during our meetings I get a lot of tips, tricks and techniques. To fill in the gap a little Ive asked members to email the projects they have been working on or are currently working on. I am posting them here and maybe even find some tips, tricks and things to inspire to post as well. I will continue to update as I get more pics and links. Hope this finds you all doing well and enjoy.
Joan and Dave are both keeping busy with carving and alcohol ink. What do you think?
Jeff has been working on some diamond willow. He took a rest from a piece of bark to make the whale. Cant wait to see the bark Jeff.
Jill is rounding her days out with different projects. I hear she is using power tools again too.
Nice looking table Jeff.
Joan and Dave have been so busy I had to create a whole section for her. Way to keep busy guys!!
Rob
Rob sent this along.
The Mourning Dove set was extremely challenging and if you think all doves are just a dirty grey…think again! Several hundred hours since January went into this project.
The Bald Eagle head is a basswood bust done with knives and gauges.
Hope all is well with all of you!

Jeff
Jeff sent this along.
"I fabricated an air filter/dust collector from some scrap pieces of plywood and some plexiglass stuck back in my tool crib. I bought a 20” box fan and furnace filters at the hardware store. I have less than $20.00 invested."
"I intend to use the unit when I use my Dremel tool, am sanding or spray painting inside in my shop."
Joan
Joan is turning santa's into presidents for a friend.

"Whenever anyone asks me what I am working on, I reply “I don’t work, I have fun.” I have been having fun with my mutts, a little different kind of carving for me.
