You Can't See the Forest for the Trees

Woodworkers of Whittier members Julie McCamey, Dick Toney, Jackie Toney, and Arie Korporaal introduced a new project to the Senior Wood Crafts class held at Adventure Park on Tuesday, October 11th.

This month's project involves two pieces of wood prepared so the pieces slide together at a 90° angle to form a self-standing tree. Julie prepared all 30 sets of tree parts on her scroll saw. One set of two pieces was given to each member of the class.

The seniors were given a quick refresher on how to send the parts. After sanding the seniors were beginning to paint their creations. Most of the members finished the sanding and moved on to painting in about 6½ minutes.

In two weeks, at the next session, the wood crafts class will add decorations to their painted trees.

All members are invited to join in and help with the wood craft classes. Classes are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays at Adventure Park. If you are interested or want further information contact president@woodworkersofwhittier.org.
