July Program

Using Wood as an Art Form For seven years, Del Cover and Dave Carr had an incredible opportunity to work with the French artist Niki de St. Phalle. During this time they produced over 80 pieces of artwork and furniture for Niki, pushing the limit of what could be done with wood. This included bent and stacked laminated pieces and many unusual finishing techniques using aniline dyes. In the program, Del and Dave will share what it was like collaborating with Niki, some of the design processes and the laminating and dying techniques used in this work. Also shown in the presentation will be some of the specialized carving and sanding tools used in developing the art pieces. Work that will be shown, includes laminated snake chairs, stacked laminated snake mirrors and a large design model made for the new “Queen Califia” sculpture garden, soon to open in Escondido. I hope to see you there, Del. Del Cover, Program Chairman Coming attractions: The September program… Bret Hesser in Hessernator III “Revenge of the Machines”

Some of the features of his shop are a three phase converter, a Wadkin Bursgreen (British) 3 hp table saw, an outside vertical air compressor, a Frank Klaus style workbench built in 1987, and custom made (movable) storage cupboards. Charlie is currently working on a Sam Maloof style rocker and will demonstrate the techniques and tools used to form the seat. There will also be a display of the many other pieces that he has built. The shop is located at 4918 Neblina Dr. Carlsbad CA 92008, (760) 434-3719 To get to Charlie's shop take I-5 to Tamarack exit in Carlsbad.

From the President… The Design In Wood show is over and was another great success. Thanks to all of you who volunteered. It

takes a great deal of time and effort to put on this event and everyone’s hard work contribute to make it the premier show of fine woodworking in the country. The reputation of our show continues to grow. The magazine editors and publishers who visit and sponsor our special awards are spreading the news. They all tell me that it is the finest event of its kind in the country. I have received several inquiries from other woodworking groups asking how we manage to do it. My answer is always the same. We have a dedicated group of volunteers who take pride in their work and are proud of the results. For those of you who did not volunteer this year, we really need your help. Besides missing out on some quality time enjoying the work on display, you are missing an opportunity to be part of the fun. Spending some time walking the floor and looking at the fine work on display not only helps but is also inspiring and provides motivation for that next project. Thanks also to those who volunteer for the demonstrations on turning, model making, carving, scrollsawing and the 19th Century Chair shop. We may have the most fun, as there is always a crowd, and a chance to interact with many fine people who visit the show. We have even developed some “groupies” over the years. They return each year and tell us that the Design In Wood show is the highlight of their visit. The show is the best forum we have for meeting our association’s stated objectives of the education, promotion, and public appreciation of the principles and practices of fine woodworking. The board is already at work on next year’s show and is considering some ideas to make your volunteering efforts even more enjoyable next year.

With DIW behind us, our next big event is the fall seminar. This year we have well known woodworker, teacher and author, Andy Rae, giving a demonstration and lecture on cabinetmaking, which will follow his book, Furniture and Cabinet Construction. See the announcement in this issue and be prepared to reserve your place at this month’s meeting.

We also plan to have our Palomar scholarship winners at this month’s meeting to show their winning pieces and tell us about their work.

Also, don’t forget to pick up a chair to finish for the children. We received a lot of requests for those chairs again this year.

Finally our own Del Cover will lead a presentation on some of his work over the years with famous artist and designer, Niki de St. Phalle.

This should be a fun filled evening so don’t miss it. See you at the meeting. Ed Gladney, President

Seven Really Great Prizes this Meeting I am often asked by members if I know where to buy something like finishing supplies or tools or locate a service like sharpening or packing and shipping.

Design in Wood Exhibition

Our 22nd annual Design in Wood Exhibition is back in the box. It was one of the most successful and extremely interesting exhibits we have had. Entries came from all over the United States, Europe and the Middle East. Visitors came from all over the United States and Europe to see our exhibit. The total number of visitors to the Fair was 1.2 million in 21 days and from the great crowds we had in the exhibit, most were able to appreciate Design in Wood. Many people in fact tell us year after year that they come to the Fair just to see Design in Wood. Undoubtedly the best wood working display anywhere. A great big thank you to all who helped make this years exhibition so successful- all the volunteers who helped with setup and takedown, floor walkers, shop workers, and especially the staff who worked so hard to keep everything running smoothly. Finally I want to thank the spouses of the staff for their support. Without all this help, Design in Wood would not happen. Bob Stevenson, Chairman, Shows & Exhibits _____________________________________________________________________________________

The following is excerpted from the San Diego Public Library Newsletter

In February, Ed Gladney, President of the San Diego Fine Woodworkers Association presented San Diego Public Library with the organization’s 11th consecutive contribution of $1000. This gift is matched 100% by the City of San Diego with 50% of the matching funds used to purchase materials for branches and 50% added to the original gift for Central Library. This has enabled Central Library to purchase $1,500 worth of woodworking texts, videos and reference materials each year for 11 years, building an impressive collection of 20 reference books, 966 circulating books and 67 videocassettes, 10 of which are Spanish language videos. Each book has a bookplate inside the front cover which recognizes the organization. This is an excellent example of the kind of partnership between the Library and the community which helps to grow unique collections matching the interests of the public with materials they want and need. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________
