Tennessee Valley Woodworkers

November 1995

Old Business

The annual picnic at Tim’s Ford was a great success, even though I couldn’t convince Ross to bid on half the items he really needed at the auction. Judy reminds us to pay for our auction items and to get receipts to her for items we purchased for the picnic. The tenth anniversary committee reported on some of their plans for celebrating next year, including a program on the goals and history of the club. Crotia reported on the game boards made for 4-H and youth camps.

New Business

The executive committee have asked the following people to serve as officers of the club next year; Ross Roepke, president, Doyle McConnell, vice president and program chairman, Lucinda Howard, secretary, Judy Davis, treasurer, and Jack Townsend, publicity. The position of newsletter editor is still open. Goeff and I cannot continue to do it next year, so we need a volunteer if members wish to continue having a newsletter.

Show and Tell

Lucinda brought her students’ wood carvings for suggestions from the members. Tom Church brought a box elder stool that he is making for the store, and spoke about phase converters. Winfield brought a cat carving that my dog kept barking at, so it must be very good! Phil Bishop brought a jewelry box, and Ross brought a footstool and told us that he won another $35 for a woodworking suggestion. Way to go, Ross! There was also a great flower stand and an exhibition of stool legs turned of different woods.

Program

Phil Bishop demonstrated his power carving tool and demonstrated the techniques that he has developed for repairing and replacing carvings on antique furniture.

Next Meeting

The next meeting will be held on November 21, 1995 at 7pm at Duck River. We hope we’ll see you there.
