As I'm sitting here thinking about what I'm going to talk to you about this month, I'm thinking about the years that you all have been a part of my life, and I would like to thank you for letting me be a part of yours.

April

I received a new e-letter from Chris Pye so I took a look at his gallery carvings again. You can study some superb detail when you click on the enlargements. He manages to get his little carved mouse into most of his carvings. http://www.chrispye-woodcarving.com/gallery/g_index.html There is a collection of antique carved wooden spoons at this site. Quite interesting if you are thinking of or have ever carved a spoon. http://www.pinewoodforge.com/nor.spoons.html In our May 2008 newsletter I spoke of Richard Carpenter and his Pine Needle Bears because they are so unusual. I also had a small picture of them but now there are better pictures on his new website that you will want to take a look at. Besides the amazing bears, he also does carving on antlers, carves buttons, and jewelry. Richard resides in Idaho. His bio is also worth a read. http://www.mountainmagicoriginals.com/

CARVING EQUIPMENT FOR SALE I received an e-mail from a gentleman who has a lot of carving equipment for sale. He needs to sell due to ill health. He didn’t give me the age of any of the equipment or the price so if you are interested you will have to call him. He lives in Auburn, WA. Here’s a list of what is for sale.

COTTONWOOD

I am cutting a large cottonwood tree down in my backyard today (Friday 3-13) and was wondering if you or any of your carving members might want a log or two. I'm thinking it might be decent carving material. Please give me a call if interested. Also carving rounds available.

2009 Show Bulletin

President Bob has agreed to be Show Chairman for our 29th Annual Show and will be counting on each and every one of our members to give him a hand. Please step forward and volunteer for a committee. It’s not too early and it is SOOOOOO much easier if everyone knows for sure who will be there pitching in with them. Loyd Case has signed on as Ribbon Chairman. Kay Lang will again be getting the demonstrations and seminars in order. Vicky Rowe is reworking the prospectus and will also be our computer Guru again this year. John Templar has been hard at work drawing up the blue prints for show set-up in the new location in the Restaurant Building at the Fairgrounds. Entrance this year will be at the Red Gate on the North Side near the Fred Oldfield Bldg. He will also be taking care of securing the vendors. Betty Miller is sending out letters for raffle donations. The early letters will be going to businesses but your personal early donations will be gladly accepted. Richard Mazza is making the arrangements for the banquet which will be at the Puyallup Eagles Lodge again as it was so successful there last year. Dottie Moody is again taking on the big job of sorting all of those carving set-up numbers we use. I’m sure there are others who I’ve missed who are also busy working on the show already. Everyone’s help is needed and appreciated. Read the meeting minutes for info on the new FREE raffle ticket program for those who help out. Thanks in advance for stepping up to volunteer.

Staining Your Woodcarving using Oil paints

Editors Note **** This article ran in the November 2007 Newsletter but I am going to run it again as some of our members don’t remember this technique of staining and after seeing some done this way at Show & Tell, they wanted to know more about it. Several years ago it was used almost exclusively by a lot of the experienced relief carvers. You all know that you can carve a piece of basswood in a superior fashion, hang it on the wall, and without proper lighting it will look like a piece of basswood hanging on the wall — your hard work carving is not discernable, your details don’t appear, and the piece looks flat. When using the method described by Ruth Yackey, all of the shadows are there — whether the lighting is or not. I will say that when you try it for the first time, it is as scary as you know what! Your beautiful carving will look destroyed so you have to have FAITH and it will all work out if you follow the directions. Be careful that any flaws are taken care of (sanded or carved away) prior to staining and seal all surfaces well.

A. BEFORE YOU STAIN, SEAL THE CARVING:

1. I use either Deft or Co-ca-seal; a. If Deft, use the Semi Gloss Spray Deft. Seal the front twice; the back and sides

once. Spray the front from all four directions, to insure all intricate parts of the carving have been sealed completely.

b. Co-ca-seal comes in a can and must be brushed on. “Co-ca-seal, oil type sealer, transparent 3290”. Brush the front and sides with two coats, letting them dry completely. Then seal the back with one coat.

B. STAINING: a. After its completely dry according to the directions on the can, mix a paste of

artist Oil Colors using Burnt Umber and Turpentine. This should be the consistency of light chocolate syrup.

b. Brush the solution liberally over the entire carving with a 1” brush. Then begin wiping off the excess with a cotton cloth. (T-shirts work great)

c. Next, stain the sides and back with the same solution to give the carving a finished, professional look.

d. Now take tubes of any other colors you would like to apply to a part of the carving, squeeze a small amount on a piece of flat glass for mixing.

e. You will begin by mixing a small amount of Turpentine with each color with a smaller brush and then apply to the wood. (Some nice colors to use for scenery are: Payne’s Gray, Alizarin Crimson, and Burnt Sienna for buildings. A nice green color for trees and shrubs can be obtained by mixing Cadmium Med. Yellow and Payne’s Gray together.)

f. Each time you apply a color, wipe off the excess gently to obtain the look you want. It takes a little bit of experimenting, so don’t get discouraged or in a hurry. Everything looks nicer if you wipe off enough color to leave the wood showing through.

C. AFTER STAINING:

a. Let the carving dry completely! I repeat….dry completely!! Spray with the Deft Semi-gloss (from all four angles) to seal the stain in and to give it a little bit of a shine.

b. GOOD LUCK! ! By Ruth Yackey

Reprinted from previous program or class And from the Nov. 2007 Chippings

Carvings by editor

Examples: Stained and finished as described above. The only added color is on the Chickadees, sunflower seeds, and a dab of red on the lighthouse. Intensity of color is dependent on how much stain you wipe off.

2-13-09 General Meeting Minutes

Following the potluck the meeting was brought to order by the President at 7:00pm with 23 members present.

Program: We enjoyed another hands-on program. Those who wished to carve brought their wood and tools. Richard LaPlante gave out patterns and taught us how he makes his beautiful Calla Lilies. He also displayed very complex multi-layer relief carving that he is working on and explained the techniques used to create it. We also enjoyed seeing photos of the club’s Lewis & Clark piece which toured the state in 2003 – the piece has 78 characters and 26 club members worked on it. Very impressive. Business: Featured Artist for the show – previous nominations were Dorsey Moody who asked that his name be withdrawn, Larry Martin, Teri Embrey, and Richard LaPlante. By a show of hands Richard LaPlante was selected. Congratulations, Richard – it is well deserved. Wilson High School – a thank you letter from Woodshop teacher Marilyn Oviatt was read. She says we may not realize it but that our actions make a lifetime impression on the young people and she appreciates us. Our banner will be going to Ellensburg for the classes there. Larry Smart will bring it back. North Lake Park will be the site of our summer picnic on JUNE 13th. Show Business - We have volunteers in place for several jobs but more are needed. John Templar is working on lining up vendors; Betty Miller is soliciting raffle items; Kay Lang will arrange our demonstrations and seminars (Lloyd Stuart is signed up with his Swan Spoon). We really need someone to handle the carving check-in. Please speak up if you can help out with this or any other area. Non-Profit certification – Bob will continue to work on this. We are not sure exactly which designation is the right one for us. John McDonagh has volunteered to be our audio/visual trainee to provide back-up for Richard. Participation Awards – a new club feature was announced. Beginning with the April meeting members will receive very special raffle tickets each time they help the club. Tickets will be available for bringing raffle items, helping with set up and clean up after the meeting, participating in show and tell, volunteering for jobs, etc. A raffle of quality items will be held at year end – the more tickets you get in the can, the better your chances of winning! There was no finance report as Dale was not present. Collections at the meeting included $11.00 for coffee, $34.00 for the raffle, and $1.50 in name tag penalties – total of $46.50. Show and Tell – Richard Mazza presented the Haida flute, now finished and has a great sound. He also showed a small carved house which he woodburned using Stephany’s shading technique. Also a second beautiful flute and a scale model of a 1900’s cabin (where he stays on vacation). John Merchant brought us some very interesting carved wax used in making jewelry. If you have questions how this is done or want to know what a Broken Arm Machine is. Just ask him! Dottie Moody had a gorgeous Calla Lily wooden spoon which she created for her granddaughter. The piece will be in the Kitsap show. Dorsey Moody has finished his fish themed walking stick. The wood comes from a bush he planted in his yard 35 years ago and was designed for his oldest nephew. The fisherman in on the shaft along with the fishing flies. The topper is an apple wood trout – fly in its mouth and even the leader. Very nice. Bob Harkness brought a ready to paint Cedar Widgeon Drake which is woodburned on the top but not of the sides (for a softer look). He also shared with us a Western Tanager (bird) in progress. Ultimately there will be two of the birds on found wood perches set in cottonwood bark. We finally had a full raffle with many great pieces of wood. Our thanks to all who made this part of the meeting a success. The meeting was adjourned. Respectfully submitted: Vicky Rowe Secretary

RULE OF THREE

The RULE OF THREE for facial and body proportions is a way to see a human figure in a block of wood before and during the carving process. Study the diagram below.

Facial Proportions are divided into thirds by using the following formula: Hairline to Eyebrow is one third; Eyebrow to Bottom of Nose is one third; Bottom of Nose to Bottom of Chin is one third.

The ear sits on the back half of the head in the middle third of the face - the Eyebrow to Bottom of the Nose third. The top of ear is in line with the eyebrow and the bottom of the ear is in line with the bottom of the nose.

The bottom third of the face or the area between the nose and the chin is divided into thirds: Nose to Top Lip is one third; Top Lip to Indention between bottom lip and chin is one third; Indention to Chin is one third.

Body proportions are also determined by using the RULE OF THREE below the head in the following formula: Shoulder to Waist is one third; Waist to Mid Knee is one third and Mid Knee to Bottom of Feet is one third.

The body is widest at the shoulders whose width is determined by the RULE OF THREE in that at the shoulders the body is Three Head Widths Wide

Raffle Table

Our raffle table was looking mighty bare so thanks to everyone this month for sprucing it up. If you have some spare pieces of carving wood, tools, mags, or anything else worthy of the raffle, please bring it along to the meeting with you. Let’s keep this going. Read this month’s minutes for the new FREE raffle ticket plan for volunteers. Sounds like fun . . . .

MEDICAL AUTHENTICATION

Here’s the skinny on heart attacks and coughing. If you are on the internet, everyone has gotten the e-mail that tells you to cough if you think you are having a heart attack. Our medical guru states that this is very true . . . . BUT you must cough as hard as you can. Also when you take that aspirin . . . CHEW IT so that it gets into the blood stream immediately. Another bit of medical advice is from one of our members who is in the long recovery process from shingles. He emphatically says “GET THE SHINGLES SHOT!”

Practical Knife Care

Are you as careful handling your detail knife as you are your gouges???

• Don’t place anything in front of a knife’s edge that you do not intend to cut.

• Sharp knives are safer than dull knives as dull knives require more pressure to use and are prone to slip.

• When reaching for a knife, do not do so absent mindedly; Do so deliberately, reaching for the handle.

• Never try to catch a falling knife. Step back and let it drop.

• Knives should NOT be used as screw drivers, ice picks nor are they intended for prying apart frozen food. Do not use it for household chores.
