October Show and Tell

 

National Guard Pen Presentation

STONES RIVER WOODWORKERS CLUB

GIFTS PENS TO

TENNESSEE NATIONAL GUARD

 

The Stones River Woodworkers Club of Rutherford County recently gifted over 200 hand crafted ball point pens to the 269^th Military Police Company of the Tennessee National Guard based in Murfreesboro.

Upon hearing of the company’s extended deployment and the sacrifices the Guardsmen and their families have made on our behalf, the Stones River Woodworkers Club members were moved to show their support and appreciation for the Guard’s service to the community, the State, and the Country.

In addition to providing support in area’s hit hardest by the COVID pandemic, the 269^th Military Police Company has served an extended deployment on the Texas/Mexico border helping train local law enforcement agencies as well as providing a large police presence along the border wherever help is most needed.

The gifted pens are made from locally harvested cherry wood and feature a military-like flat black enamel finish on the metal components.  Because every pen was hand crafted on a wood lathe by the club members, no two pens are exactly alike.  The individual members applied his/her talents and nuance to each pen resulting in a unique and novel gift for every Guardsman.

The Stones River Woodworkers Club is proud to participate in this project and look forward to more opportunities to serve Rutherford County.  For more information about the SRWC, visit the web site at www.stonesriverwoodworkers.com or the Facebook page: Stones River Woodworkers Club.

AUGUST 2021 SHOW AND TELL

 

March 2021 meeting minutes

 Meeting of the Stones River Woodworkers March 23, 2021

Present: 21

Welcome: President Sam Clark opened the meeting, welcoming everyone, and made the following announcements:

• Paid Memberships: Our membership list will be updated after this meeting. You may pay dues through Treasurer Gene Casto or by using PayPal.
• Reaching Out for Audio-Video Media Development: When live meetings are resumed the club expects to use the capabilities of Zooming to home-bound members and to concurrently enhance the viewing experience for each attending member at future live meetings, specifically for technical demonstrations. We think we may have much of the needed equipment to set this up but are seeking someone who can help “put it all together”. If you are that someone and would like to help, please e-mail me at seclark60@gmail.com. Thank you in advance.

Program: Vice President Larry Counts introduced member David Sapp, also currently serving as President, Tennessee Association of Woodturners. David was commissioned to build a “Green & Green” 10 foot by 5-foot reproduction dining room table complete with leaves and chairs using Honduran mahogany. The table is beautifully finished with 9 coats of Waterlox and is 10 feet long and 5 feet wide. The detailed slides outlined the construction process that took a 51-week period ending in March of 2013.

Show and Tell: Newsletter Editor Marvin Miller will e-mail all of these presentations to the membership.

Next Meeting: 4-27-21. Steve Reinker will be presenting

Respectfully submitted by:

David Roesler,

SRWW Secretary
