TENNESSEE VALLEY WOODWORKERS              JUNE ‘92

 

 

SPLINTERS

 

 

 

Well here we are in June... a month of graduations, weddings, the longest day, and the welcoming of summer. My tune this June is humble bumble “do you know how many Churches it takes to goof up a newsletter???”...ONLY ONE...Yes it’s all Tom’s.  Proof again that HASTE does in fact make WASTE...Just a big hurry to go on vacation. The worst part is that the real page two would have made even Paul Harvey himself proud.. .Susan begs you to accept my most apologies...even if she did the folding mailing and quality inspections.

 

 

JUNE MEETING

 

.Check that calendar. Our third Tuesday meeting will be this coming Tuesday June 16. Our business meeting agenda contains several important items: Plans for the July picnic need to be finalized. Remember, the picnic coincides with our Saturday craft demonstration day at Falls Mill on July 18. We’ll also be finalizing plans for our demonstrations and displays as well. Tom Cowan has come -through again and graciously volunteered to present a brief program this month. Tom will be demonstrating the basic elements of turned pieces one element

at a time. Then he will show how these elements or shapes can be combined to form a complete part ...like a decorative leg. YES, of course we will be having our world famous SHOW AND TELL event. If you have any examples of decorative turnings please bring them for show and tell. If you can’t find a “well turned leg” bring a neighbor or a friend to the meeting.

MAY MEETING

 

Check that calendar. Our third Tuesday meeting will be this coming Tuesday May 19. Our meeting/program will be a field trip to the wood museum & exhibit up at Sewanee. Several months ago Ross Roepke contributed some information on this collection for our newsletter. Doctor Potter of the Natural Resources department at the University of the South has arranged to have the exhibit open for us on Tuesday evening. The exhibit area is rather small so we will probably have to stage ourselves through in groups.  The museum is in room 109 of Snowden Hall, near the library. The map on the next page should help in navigating. For those of interested in car pooling we are gathering at the Duck River Electric Building in Decherd at 5:30 with hopes of getting up there by 6:00. For those of you with other planning on driving directly .. .we’ll see you at 6:00. Please bring a guest, neighbor, spouse or friend.

 

Jack Townsend is alive and well!!!!

 

We heard it straight from the horse’s mouth.. .Jack came through his recent round of surgery a better person. Good news Jack.
