President Phil Brown leads the Business Meeting
Vice President Clif Poodry MCs the Show & Tell table and discusses his own covered burl bowl.
Mike Vore with a vase and glass flower. On the table are a Rude Osolnik original candle stick and a pair of replicas. The large hollow form is by Eliot Feldman, and the platter with lotus finial is by Gary Guenther.
A rapt audience listens to David Jacobowitz.
...as he describes his segmented hollow form of wenge, African rosewood, and bloodwood.
Pat Taylor with his ambrosia maple bowl.
Demonstrator for the evening, and MCW Treasurer and Webmaster, Doug Pearson, discusses "Surface Treatments and Other Enhancements".
Doug describes his large, colorful, and imaginative pieces. This one was always one of my favorites.
It incorporates color, burning, texture, and gold leafing.
Here is a similar shape in a brighter color.
Many interesting shapes, colors, and surface treatments. These pieces are even more impressive in person.
A closeup of the table. That blue hollow form is nothing short of gorgeous. The piece on the near left is a log hollowed by Mother Nature.
The covered vessel on the right graced the cover of the Winter 2007 issue of Woodturning Design magazine.
A closeup from the other side.
This interesting piece was literally burned in a fireplace, and salvaged as an afterthought... ...an art moment. Many thanks to Doug for a most interesting presentation.
