Washington Woodworker’s Guild Presentation
Recently I presented at my home woodworking posse, the Washington Woodworker’s Guild. I have been making presentations there for almost thirty years, since I first moved to the DC area, and even though I no longer live quite so close I enjoy it enough to keep coming back. I think this was either the 12th or 13th presentation for them.
A couple of old friends came; Tom, my Wednesday night woodworking pal for many years, and Daniela, one of my furniture conservation proteges and the gifted hand holding the brush for the peacock feather on my Gragg chairs.
My topic(s) for the evening were pewter inlays, about which I am completing an article for an upcoming Popular Woodworking, and the progress of The Studley Project. That book is now in editing, and development of the accompanying exhibit of the Studley Tool Cabinet is progressing nicely. There are still plenty of tickets available, and the combination of it with the Handworks tool extravaganza in nearby Amana, Iowa, makes for a memorable woodworker’s weekend.
Next Thursday evening I will be presenting an overview of The Studley Project for Central Virginia woodworkers Guild in the Lynchburg area.
