Period Furniture Meeting...Sept 22
The Period Furniture Group has a new subgroup leader to start the fall season...
Bill Taylor. Thank you Bill. Bill will be working with Bruce Wedlock to bring a new project to the group.
The first meeting of the Period Furniture Group for the new season will be held at Woodcraft in Newington, NH on Saturday, September 22 from 9 am to noon.
The project this year will be a
Federal Knife Box. Ownership of silverware in colonial homes was a statement of stature and wealth and deserved a fine, secure but visible storage box.
Please register here.

Although small in size it is not small in skill set development for the woodworker. This knife box/silverware box was not commonplace in colonial homes. Ownership of the silverware was a statement of stature and wealth and deserved a fine, secure but visible storage box. We recognize the questionable usefulness of such an item in today’s homes.
More detail here.

GH Evarts Closing
This is Sheri from the former
GH Evarts & Co in Springfield NH.
On July 31st, we were purchased by Kennebec Lumber in Solon, Maine. They have chosen to not sell retail lumber, and we are closing our retail building in the next few months. As we are not on the beaten path, I was wondering if you could send an email out to your members letting them know, as the majority of our sales were to your members. They are welcome to call if they are looking for something in particular as we do have some stock left in the bins.
We have also shut down our website, so if you could remove any link on your website it would be appreciated.
We thank your organization and your members for the support over the past years.

Toy Workshops with Hal Liberty
Two Saturdays..
Toy Workshop 1 -- Oct 6
Toy Workshop 2 -- Oct 13
Please Register
The purpose of the workshops is to make toys for needy children. I have a group that will try to find clients in the out reaches of the state that have children that need toys. I have committed at least 300 toys for this program.
Woodworkers should bring protective gear that they prefer. I have eye, dust and ear protection for those that need them.
The workshop will run from 9:00AM to 12:00PM and will continue at 1:00 PM to 3:00PM. I will provide drinks and snacks but suggest one should bring a lunch if staying for AM and PM.

Sugar Maple Turning Stock
I have a good sized Sugar Maple Tree that is dying, and after discussing all options with an Arborist, will need to take it down. The trunk is about 22-24" in diameter, and there are 6-7 tall (20-30') branches, which start out in the 15" range and down to probably 8", as well as plenty of smaller branches.
I would like to know if there is anyone interested in helping me get turning stock in exchange for turning stock for themselves.
More info here.
