Western big leaf burl

Hi everyone

Just a note to let you know,  Roy Phillips will be at the picnic this year and he is bringing out some of his western big leaf burl for us to purchase.    As always Roy has a good selection of burls for us to choose from, so come on over and find that special piece that you are itching to turn.

Picnic information

.   Summer is winding down and the gardens are being harvested,   so planning  is started for our summer picnic. We will be having a picnic and it will be September 12^th starting at 2:00 pm.  The club will supply the meat,chips  and drinks and dinner ware.  A-M please bring a side dish or salad  and N-Z please bring a desert.

The picnic will be at my house and the address is 9531 W. Halstead Dr. Boise Idaho 83704.  On a demo there is one not on the schedule yet but thinking it will be informal as on the first Tuesday’s we do.

As I let you all know at the last meeting Officer elections for the club will be in October and this will give the incoming officers time to work with the out going officers to take the reins and run with them.

The first Tuesday  is back on track.  The summer heat is fading slowly.

August updates

Hello everyone

Got the ol computer up and running a little faster on the net again,

I have updated the news for the Artistry in wood. The club is still looking for 2 people to be on the committe for this

First Tuesday is back on track.  It may be hot in the shop as I do not have AC yet.

The Jimmy Clewes weekend of demo and hands on was a great success.

That is all for now.

Everyone just a quick note for updates.

My computer is running way slow so I will do the rest of the updates later.

For First Tuesday in July we will not have one in July.  the First Tuesday will resume in August.

Hi

I finally got around to updating the website and trying to clean up some of the categories.   Posted you will find the 2009 demonstration schedule,  We are still looking for potential topics and demonstrators for October and November.  I have also posted the Monthly Challenge for 2009.

 

I have added an events page.  This is where we will store the upcoming events and their dates,  once they have past the items will most likely be deleted.
