Bus Trip!
November 14, 2002
We started at Klingspoor Woodworkers Store in Hickory, then to Columbia Plywood Factory (the biggest hardwood plywood plant in the Northern Hemisphere!), then to Cormark Exotic Hardwoods near Asheville.

(Drum roll please) "And the winner is...!" The November 2002 meeting was THE meeting that we give away our first really big raffle item. The Tool Shed and the Greenville Woodworkers Guild went half-and-half on a brand new Delta 14-inch band saw with open stand.

Basic Woodworking Techniques seminar:

A lot of woodworkers picked up a lot of useful information from Bennett Farrell of the Thomas Chippendale School of Furniture. This workshop was sponsored by the Guild on October 21, 2000, at the Golden Strip Career Center.

Bennett covered a lot of topics, including different types of glues, veneering, spindle turning, half-blind dovetails, carving a claw-and-ball leg, finishing techniques, and sharpening.

The members had a chance to do the actual work, and not just watch. We participated in every topic, including making a captured-ring baby rattle. If you missed this, you missed a good 'un!


Special bed made by Guild member Darryl Roberson for a special young lady.
