Your WoodworkingWeb Gazette

Welcome to Issue 2.05 ~ May 2015

MAY your month be filled with the smell of cut wood, with the sound of saws, planes, and hammers.

MAY you not forget Mother's Day.

And MAY you take up my challenge (posted in the "Theme" section).

Have a fantastic month and happy woodworking!
~ Debbie

Interview With A Woodworker: Jack

"My woodworking interest began at age 69. I had never attempted nor had I known anyone who did any woodworking. My son called me one day and ask me if I would build a sundeck on the back of their house in Charlotte, NC. Sure son, when do you want it? When I hung up I said what the heck have I volunteered for?...."

Theme Challenge!

Our theme this month is "flowers" and I'm putting out the challenge to create a wooden flower -- maybe it's some intarsia, marquetry or chip carving; maybe it is a piece of jewelry or a garden ornament .. or maybe --- well, I'll leave that up to you!

Post photos of your "flower challenge" creations in the comments section here.
