Design help?

Arnie Champagne is asking for design help. The church in Petaluma where we got our "holy" Oak pew pieces requested two flower boxes for the church flowers. The rough dimensions are a 12" top and 30" to 40" high. He is asking for your brains to whirl and come up with a design. Give the design to him at the meeting or mail it to him at 27 Putnam St., San Francisco 94110 or call him at 415/282-1704.

Heck! Build a sample, put a top on it, and enter it in the Box Contest!

Box Contest in April!

What great fun. Some of you remember from years past that we have over a dozen categories such as: BIGGEST (remember-there is no crane or forklift available), SMALLEST, FUNNIEST, MOST ORIGINAL, MOST UNUSUAL, MOST INTRICATE DESIGN, MOST MODERN, MOST CLASSIC, BEST TURNING, BEST EXECUTION, OPEN CATEGORY, OTHER AND BEST OF SHOW and any other categories that we can think of. The judging is by the members present. Correction to the Best of Show entry rather then a seat on the next trip to Mars (and that?s not in Ohio) the prize will be an all expense paid trip for two to Alviso!

What is a box? Well, as Past President Linda Salter once explained "Hey, a house is a box." Any closed container of wood that is has a lid is a box. Bring your house.

Library

Yep, we got one. See Mike Cooper at the meetings. There are some great books, articles and videos.

Name Tags and Membership Cards

If you didn't get yours then see Harold Patterson at the membership table at the meeting. We are working on getting discounts at wood loving places when you flash your card.
