April meeting: Restoration and refinishing

Our April meeting will feature a talk by John Arslanian, of Arslanian Furniture Restoration, on furniture restoration and refinishing. He will cover many aspects of this process, including preparing the project for restoration, dealing with contamination, whether to restore vs. strip and refinish, suitable finishes for restortation, and dealing with glues. This should be a very informative talk on a subject that had one of the highest interest levels among our members.
Also, don’t forget to think about projects for the CJWA Member Exhibition in May. We are happy to announce that Lie-Nielsen has generously donated a Lie-Nielsen 9-1/2 block plane as a prize for the CJWA Member Exhibition. Any CJWA member who enters a project will be entered into a raffle to win the plane.
Hope to see you there!
