THE PRESIDENT
Hi to all the NWCA members!
We had a good meeting last Friday. It was hot but we made it through ok. I have two boxes of the prospectus to get out to the people who want to enter the NWCA show. Please call me and I will deliver some to you. I will be dropping some off at Sumner Woodworking and take some to the other woodworking stores in Seattle and the one near SouthCenter mall. Don't forget to get your entries ready for the show. If you know anyone who can volunteer to do something at the show please ask them. Happy Birthday to everyone born in September that includes me! (Your editor says me too! ) Don't forget the club has a library for your use . Keep your carving tools sharp and ready to use at all times!
Your President,
Ronald Dyer

General Meeting Minutes
General Meeting Notes August 12, 2016
Meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm
Thank you to all who showed up in the toasty weather we are having! Truly dedicated members.
The picnic was a great success, thanks to everyone who attended and the cost was fully covered by all
who donated to the raffle. If you were unable to attend you missed a great time!
We received a thank you letter from Ellensburg carvers, thanking us for sharing the insurance. Everyone
wins with co-operation.
Betty Miller has written to Good Day Northwest to possibly get some members to do a live show on
carving, it would be great publicity. It is a television show on channel 5. Even if we cant get on the show,
she may be able to get some tickets to allow members to sit in the audience and display carvings or
advertisement. She has also put a video in face book and twitter. She is putting in a huge amount of
effort to help out the club, and is looking for ideas for publicity. Any ideas would be welcome. Please step
up and help her out, she cant do it alone!
Keith Preece is encouraging people to enter carvings in the Puyallup fair, he said the judge is easy!
One thing that has been suggested to bring in more attendees to our show, is bringing in some antique
cars. The Grange will only allow twelve, if you know of anyone who would be interested, please contact
Ron Dyer.
Show and Tell
Richard LaPlante Basswood Sunflower and a Jeutong relief carving of Canadian geese.
Walt Biddell Intarsia lighthouse, several different woods which I cant spell!
Meeting was adjourned early, no auction this week.
Secretary, Robin McDonald
Also, thanks to Tom and Lynn Flora for taking our NWCA banner over to the
Ellensburg Show and bringing it back.
From Betty: Please watch this video for information about our Show.
https://youtu.be/VBiAodAqs-g . Help us advertise our show by inviting
your friends and neighbors. Spread the word as we have a new location
and a new date so even the regulars need to be reminded.
Editor: The video has also a nice sampling of some of our entries last year!!
https://youtu.be/VBiAodAqs-g
If you dont know who carved these deep relief pieces, then you
just havent been paying attention!!!! (What am I going to do??) Of
course, Richard LaPlante strikes again. Those Geese are not carved
separately and then glued in!! And yet if you reach in and feel
behind the head and wings you wonder How did he do that??
.
SHOW AND TELL
Then he gets that little smile on his
face that says Wouldnt you like
to know?? Well we know---lots
of hard work and lots of time
trying all the tools he has and lots
of sanding!
Great work, I bet we will see it in
several shows these coming
months. Cant wait to see it all
painted and finished! Are you
going to get it done in time for the
fair?? From Editor: I know not all of the readers can attend our meetings and
share with us personally your carvings or other wood projects. If youre
working on some projects, for fun or on a Honey-do list, feel free to send
me some pictures. ([email protected]) Maybe I can feature some of
them in future letters. Im always looking to fill in a few blank spaces.
mailto:[email protected]
And, not to be outdone by Richard, we have
Walt Biddell with his latest Intarsia project.
Again with a wonderful eye for choosing the
right woods. No dyes or paints ever touch a
good intarsia! Ill bet well see it in the
coming show, and maybe at the fair.
Well, thats the end of this months show and tell. Slim
pickins as they say in other parts of the country.
However, Ill have to admit the quality outweighed the
quantity!
I met these two gals at Renton River Days. Even though Jim
Ploegman died this Spring, his son and others are keeping
the classes alive.
If you are familiar with our latest show in Puyallup, just find W. Pioneer street,
then head West. It will turn into 72nd then turn right onto Waller Rd. When you
get to 64th, turn West for about block. There is a sign indicating the driveway to
the Grange. Piece of cake. Of course there are other routes that get you there,
but thought Id give a little perspective to its location. Im sure there is a slightly
different map on o
