 Gregg Langlois - Hayrake Table; Reclaimed redwood 4x4s were used for everything but the curved end cap and the tabletop (had to use lumber yard 2x6s for these). The mismatched colors of the different-aged redwood led me down the path of trying to figure out how to use transtint dyes (for the much lighter end caps and top).  Wayne Shipman - Footed Natural Edge Bowl; For those of you that are interested in natural edge bowl turning, here is an article written by Wayne Shipman. If you have questions or comment, please contact Wayne directly at wayne.shipman@comcast.net  David Traversi - A simple maple Shaker drop leaf table. The joinery is hand cut mortise and tenon with draw bore pegs. The drop leaf mechanism are traditional shaker spinners. |

Our speaker was John Spivey on the creative process of designing and building beautiful furniture - from soil through wood into a functional sculpture. Spivey's design inspiration lies in the flow of lines within Zen calligraphy and painting. John shared stories about where he draws design inspiration, such as a 94 -year old Japanese woman calligraphy teacher who was the daughter of Emperor Meiji, or how he had a brief encounter with Sam Maloof that helped get him going on his own work.
