Richard Bazeley in Australia sent the photo above of his students working on small tables using mortise and tenon joints. You can see the student's thoughts, "I see how this works!" as he assembles the half-lap joint between stretchers in the base. Theirs is not an easy project, and it will be one long remembered both in the making and in the physical form.
We had a wonderful evening fundraiser at the home of art patrons Jim and Susan Nelson. The food was fantastic, the guests loved the walnut bench, and we raised money in support of the Wisdom of the Hands program. Jane Tucker, mother of three former Clear Spring School students made the chocolate cake with tools and hands. The hand shaped cookies were made by Donna Doss and the shapes were those of real Clear Spring School students,collected by tracing hands on paper. The real saw in the photo? Jane Tucker used it to cut the cake.
The food prepared by Jane and Donna was on an Asian theme and you can see the beautiful table set for guests in the photo below.
