Club Meeting at Eddie Wildsmith's Sawmill
Visit With Local Luthier, Mike Hasty
We visited the shop of Mike Hasty, a local expert luthier (a luthier builds and repairs string instruments that have a neck and a sound box), to see how he builds guitars, and to see some of the finished products. Mike had a lot of stories to share as well. His shop is amazing, with a machine or jig for every operation - he hates having to set up a tool for different operations, so there is at least one for every operation in his process!

CLUB PROJECT FOR 2018
We have a donation of six "Boss" Tweed Chairs for restoration. See photos below. All of the chairs require re-caning and refinishing. Some have missing pieces. If you are interested in taking part in this project, please contact us.
Thirty-six guitars were delivered to Rulon International in St. Augustine on November 15, 2016. Five of us were treated like royalty and provided a wonderful tour of the plant and a delightful lunch. This was a very rewarding club project. The Rulon representative told me these were the "nicest set of guitars we have received yet."

Memorial Bench
The Maryanne Jones Memorial Bench was presented to her family in a ceremony on November 6, 2013 at Glynn Art Association on St. Simons Island, GA. Maryanne passed at the age of 37. She was a very talented artist who was born with Down's Syndrome. The bench will stay at Glynn Art reminding everyone of the contribution she made during her short life.
The bench is made from cherry with walnut trim and inlays. The lettering is hand-carved. Once the members started working on the bench, it became a labor of love. The finished product shows that devotion. It is a beautiful bench. We hope you will have the opportunity to stop by Glynn Art and see it in person.
