June 2009 Meeting: 8 board feet of wood contest, raised panel doors
Thursday, June 11, 2009 at 10:00PM 
The 8 Board Feet of Wood competition was judged this evening with about 12 entries, which represented the largest number of entries to our challenge thus far. First place was awarded to Steve Altman with a very detailed and exacting jewelry case made of common pine, which is a species very out of character for Mr. Altman, yet the workmanship was excellent and his finish was that of very old wood. Steve received a $50.00 gift certificate that was generously donated by Monteath Lumber for our contest. Kudos to Steve!
Bob Masterson demonstrated an easy method of making raised panel doors. He made a cherry door for a vanity using only 3 cutters and a router table. The purpose was to show that if Bob can do it, anybody can do it (his words) and he hopes some were inspired to try. He also says that the vanity has yet to be completed.
The passing of Sam Maloof and his work and kindness was mentioned.
