This Month's Meeting

May 17th (3rd Thursday) 6:30 pm

Bring a chair



We'll have a Tool Talk by John Blackmore, on the Bridgecity Tool BP 18 Bevel Protractor.

The main presentation will be about our host. Segale Bros. Wood Products Inc. is a family owned business that was established in 1976 by Donald Segale. In the early days, he and his brother manufactured and sold solid wood planters, clocks and other wood novelty items at Art and Wine Festivals. Don's older brother helped grow the plants in a home greenhouse that were then sold with the planters. This is the reason for Bros. in the name.

As the business grew, the older brother went into the landscaping business while Donald expanded into manufacturing custom cabinetry, therefore establishing the mainstay of the business. Learning from craftspeople, attending apprentice school and on the job experience, Don became skilled at crafting beautiful cabinets. http://www.segalebros.com/about.html
