We had our second meeting of 2019 yesterday at Woodworkers Emporium with 9 members and 2 visitors in attendance. Welcome to new member Dean ( from the sun-city woodworkers group).

We also had a visitor looking for a good place to buy basswood. We informed him that Wood it is is hosting a vendor at  her shop on March 2nd.

                           First ,here is another "Red Fox" carving from Rod. Carved in Mahogany.

Next Jerry finished another 2 projects in the last 2 weeks.

                           I never know what takes Jerry so long to finish something.

           And Dean our newest member brought some of his beautiful work to share.

Sorry to say I didn't get a picture of Sheri and Richard doing their power carving of birds.

For those who couldn't make it "hope to see you soon".
