Lawrence Peterson, who has primary responsibility for maintaining Woodchips displays throughout the SCA campus, has refreshed the window display outside the front entrance to the Woodchips shop. The display features a variety of art pieces, all made possible with the simple scroll saw! Each creation showcases the colors of the natural wood only-- no stains or paints were used.

The 2021 SCA Fall Arts & Crafts Fair was held Sat, Oct 9. Lots of residents stopped by the Woodchips tables to browse, visit, shop, and inquire about membership. A Special Thank You to Mike R, Lawrence P, and Mike K for "manning" the tables during Jeannie's long-planned vacation! So many compliments, so little time!

Cutting boards made by Woodchipper David Kay from Black Walnut and Hard Maple (from Peterman Lumber).  David used Titebond III glue for water resistance.  Each board was finished with a couple of coats of mineral oil followed by a coating of a mixture of bee's wax and mineral oil.

Beautiful work, David!

This recent bowl turning by Teo Oruc consists of 1681 pieces in 36 layers. Each layer is only 0.145” (4mm) thick.  Final size is 11.81” x 9.25”. From start to finish it took about 2 weeks to finish. Teo worked on it everyday for about 5 hours.  Thus, approximately 70 hours, plus the time to do the maquette. Final piece is made with hardwoods: wenge, padauk, yellow heart, and maple.
