September 8, 2019 Ward Stevens
Bruce Quigley’s Vessel from John Williams’ Hands on Workshop

Bruce Quigley’s Vessel from John Williams’ Hands on Workshop

Bruce Quigley was first up, and was a hard act to follow with his John Williams HOW creation and an ornament inspired from a Michael Kehs HOW.

Here’s a pretty fantastic box from Tom Gall. He used two centers and Michael Kehs cup burrs. That’s a holly finial on top.

John Manura provided a detailed account of how to make a Dizzy bowl using the Accu-Slice® and a jig he invented for glue-up. The larger vessel has 75 layers for a total of 5,000 pieces. John also brought along some bangles and generously donated a knife for the 50/50 Raffle, won by Gil Malave. To see videos of how John does this, check out his website.

Barb Serratore brought along her humorously sculpted (Orange Trumpet?) fish that was equally at home on [the] Wall or the Mueller Report. It’s a great satirical addition to her fish series.

Want to collaborate? Bob Crowe is looking for some ideas to finish off his stacked spheres- catch him at our next meeting if you are interested. They can be separated!

Bob Collins has been busy making pens, bowls, and his first hollow vessel. He made the pens with Steve Hillerman in a HOW, and highly recommends this class.

Dennis Fuge has been busy making 85 bottle openers and wine stoppers for his daughter’s wedding. He sure knows how to show off a wood’s figure! He also brought along a piece from his Saturn series made with copper, wood, stone and solder. The texturing was done with a wire brush.

Sebastian Montagano brought along a platter he made at Mike Tanner’s HOW and a box he made at Phil Hauser’s. You had to be there to hear the pop as Sebastian opened the box- the mark of a well-made lid!

Linford Sine was inspired by a Woodsmith TV episode to make this box with a threaded lid. The vessel is stave constructed from walnut and has a maple and walnut top. Those are some beautiful threads!

New member, Kyle Stier, brought along a number of pieces he’s working on. He, too, is making great progress and enjoying working with highly figured wood and, like Ed Ryan, is exploring plywood as a medium.
