Fall of December 2016 we were given access to 8 large cedar logs and some Red
Oak. These are some pictures along the way.
The mugs were made during the normal RR meeting time each week. Perhaps
45 minutes each night. First few mugs were completed in about 4 hours.
As attendance comes and goes so does the completion of these cups. Some of
these cups were parts left over from 2 years ago when we started on them then.
Our next project will be Red Oak FCF chairs that side into each other.
Special thanks to Norm Kirsch and family for the donation of the oak for this
new project and thanks to Jerry Millhouser and family for the already dried
cedar. We are currently resawing and stickering these logs for projects
next year.
