Meetings
Mike Wendt presented Tree Physiology at our October meeting. He shared some of what he has learned as an Arborist and instructor at MATC about trees and what causes various effects in the wood we use. Mike brought in samples of various defects and special effects in wood such as spalting and feathering.
Our next meeting is November 3. Mark Trenier will turn a nativity scene. The holiday party will be on December 1.
