Member ProfileChuck Walker Member of the Year 2009by Joe Kennedy
Chuck is a native of St. Louis, Missouri, whichhelps explain his “I’ve got to be shown” attitude.
Chuck got an early start at woodworking. Hisgrandfather was a house builder who took him to alumberyard at age 3. He started making items fromKraft cheese boxes (when they were wooden!) atage 5, using toy tools. At age 9 Chuck received his own workbench and somereal carpentry tools. He still has most of them. Chuck, like many of us, cannever get rid of something that “might be useful”.
In his teens Chuck took a break from woodworking to go to school,becoming an analytical chemist. He received his B.A. in chemistry from ParkCollege and won the heart of his lovely wife Jeanne. After working for UnionCarbide and Gulf Oil for many years, Chuck joined the IBM Corporation in1969 in Palo Alto, California. He transferred to Poughkeepsie in 1974 and hasheld various important positions in the Hudson Valley area. He retired fromIBM in 1991.
Even before his retirement Chuck devotedtime to some of his woodworking and relatedinterests. He has been an active member of theMusical Box Society International since 1974and also has been enthusiastically restoringmusical boxes since 1986. His retirementallowed Chuck to become a dedicated memberof International Wood Collector’s Society in1995 which resulted in developing a keen inter-est in wood identification. Chuck now has avery nice collection of samples, which he dis-played and explained at the Mid-Hudson
Woodworkers Show last year. Very closely related to his interest in wood col-lecting is the marquetry that Chuck does as either independent pieces or aspart of musical box restoration. He is a devotee of French marquetry and haseven built his own donkey saw which allows him to make several duplicates ofa piece simultaneously. Two years ago he receivedFiske Fund award and used it to spend two weeksstudying marquetry with Patrick Edwards, one of thefeatured speaker/demonstarators at Showcase 2009.Through the years Chuck’s interests have rangedover many other areas including antique clockrepair, antique furniture, photography, and silver-smithing.
Chuck first went to Showcase in 1997. Then readabout NWA in a woodworking magazine and discov-ered that an old schoolmate and friend from ParkCollege was an active member. We all know thisfriend’s name – Herm Finkbeiner, one of the founding members of theNortheastern Woodworkers Association. Chuck has been active in NWA fromhis first day as a member. He has served as the Mid-Hudson Chapter’s liaisonto the NWA Board for many years, been an active participant in Showcase andhas often lectured on various topics, including marquetry, the use of scrapersand sharpening. Chuck is our resident expert in many areas, metal working,marquetry, sharpening and wood identification.
Everyone in NWA wants to thank Chuck for his active involvement over theyears. The Mid-Hudson Chapter especially wants to thank Chuck for his invalu-able advice, guidance and dedication. We are all fortunate to have the chanceto work with him in the past and look forward to doing so for many years tocome.

Bench Tool Quiz and ContestProvided by Herm Finkbeiner
The above drawing has 60 hand tools each with a number. All of them are regularly used by woodworkers inperforming various tasks, some common and some rather specialized. (Mostly by flat boarders!) To make the quiz alittle challenging we have created a contest. Make out a list, numbered from 1 to 60 and then identify each of thetools. Send your list to [email protected] to win valuable prizes. The prizes will be awarded to the top 5entrants. In the event that there are more than 5 entries that identify all 60 items correctly the winners will bechosen by a drawing. Awards will be presented at the picnic, July 19, 2009.
Wanted: Bulletin Board for the Stillwater shop. If you have a corkboard/bulletin board that you would like to donate, we need one at theStillwater shop. Contact Dick Flanders (518) 393-5215, [email protected] or Ken Evans 753-7759, [email protected].
Save the Date: The NWA/Fiske Fund annual Lumber and Tool auction is scheduled for September 26, 2009. If you have any tools to putin the auction, please contact Dick Flanders (518) 393-5215, [email protected] or Warren Stoker (518) 439-6089,[email protected]. As in the past, you may donate items to NWA for this auction, or arrange a partial donation by splitting the pro-ceeds between the Fiske Fund and yourself. Remember that the proceeds from the auction are the prime source of monies for the FiskeFund, which provides scholarships to members interested in furthering their knowledge of woodworking.

Kaatskill Woodturners Association NewsBy Wally Cook
Tales from the Bark Side: Jay Hockenberry of theNutmeg Woodturners League demonstrated naturaledged bowls.
To maximize the probability of retaining bark onthe natural edge of the bowl, the wood should be cutduring the tree’s dormancy – late fall or winter. Jay hashad best luck with cherry or maple. Trees with thickerbark require more care. For best results, Jay prefers thegreenest wood for ease of turning. If the cambium layerof the wood appears to be drying, then a bead of CAglue can be used to keep the bark adhered to the cam-bium.
Since natural edgedbowls are rustic, designought to feature the wood’scharacter with focus on con-sistent thickness of the wallsof the bowls. The line of thecurve of the bowl shouldreflex above the foot. Thefoot should be in properproportion to the bowl’swidest diameter and act toraise the bowl slightly off the resting surface.
To begin the mounting of the bowl blank, Jay firstattempts to equalize the wings of the bowl. He accom-plishes this task by placingthe blank on a drill press,bark side down. The blankis shimmed until the highends of the bark side areleveled, then a pilot hole isdrilled in the reverse side.The blank is mounted on afour-jaw woodworm screw.
Turning directionshould be away from thebark end to avoid damag-ing the edge. Jay turns theoutside of the bowl in anuphill direction from thefoot to the lowest edge ofthe bowl, then downhillfrom the peak to the mid-portion of the bowl. Jaymakes sure that he has enough material to reshape andresize the foot at a later point in the process.(Remember to mark the center point of the foot beforere-chucking to approach the inside of the bowl). Theinside of the bowl is defined by first turning the wingsto final thickness while leaving enough mass in the cen-ter of the bowl. Jay uses Ellsworth grind tools for bothoutside and inside turning, but a heavy scraper can beused to finish the bottom and transition cuts. The finalsanding of the bowl is completed with the lathe turnedoff, because bark is soft and is easy to over sand.Generally, Jay will not place the sanding disk directly onthe bark, but will place the direct force on the wood,overlapping the cambium layer and bark.
Natural edged bowls have special safety issues. Barkmay fly off the edge, so face protection is strongly rec-ommended. In addition, the varying heights of the bowlrim provide gaps in the turning profile and care mustbe taken to avoid catchingtools or fingers in the gaps.Jay normally turns between800-1000 rpm. Since thegreen wood will move duringthe drying process, he tries tocomplete a natural edgedbowl in one session, ratherthan letting the partially fin-ished bowl dry and returningto it at a later time. You cansee Jay’s work athttp://www.nutmegwoodturn-ers.com/NWT/galhockenber-ry.html.
Ghana: Jay has supporteda project to bring a cottagepen turning industry to apoor village in Ghana. This is a challenging enterprise,as there is one lathe in the region and no electric serv-ice to the village. His initial efforts have been veryrewarding. The sale of even one pen at represents thebetter part of a laborer’s yearly wage. Bravo!

Stacked Accuracy: Roger Klein demonstrated a process forensuring dado accuracy to a thousandth of an inch.
Roger demonstrated that the difference between a tight andloose dado fit is one five-thousandth of an inch (.005”). Since mostcalculations are accomplished with 1/8” and 1/16” chippers andspacers Roger set out to create a table which can cut down on trialand error test cuts, relying instead on outside-diameter calipermeasurements for both blades and shims.
In order to follow the process, Roger has built both blade andshim tables to select the appropriate stack combinations for thedado cut. It is recommended to use high impact plastic shims(Roger’s were from LeeValley); a light mistingof WD40 will enablethe shims to adhere tothemselves and theblades, while avoidingthe arbor threads.Roger distributed dadotest cuts and theprocess was shown todeliver accurate cutsand tight fits with avariety of hard andsoft woods. MemberDenny Dutcavich triedthe process and veri-fied the accuracy of fit.A copy of Roger’sdetailed process maybe obtained by contacting [email protected].
Banquet: Congratulations to Chuck Walker as ChapterMember of the Year! We had a very nice evening mildly roastingChuck and renewing fellowship with members and guests. Chuckwas celebrated with custom made drinking straws (red oak, natu-rally), nifty woodworking gloves and band-aids, a new scraper, allthe wood for a new music box, and induction into the Loyal Orderof Hurley Tories. Chuck’s many talents and skills were described byJoe Kennedy, Al Shinker, Herm Finkbeiner, Ron Mower, DapCole, and legions of others (who may have been recruited byChuck). Jane Franklin was our invited speaker. Jane is a wonderfulcolleague who has allowed the NWA into her advanced classes atKingston High School. She discussed the association that the NWAhas had with her class over the years. Her PowerPoint presentationhighlighted how our Bluebird house construction efforts with herstudents fit into the curriculum for scientific observation in a natu-ral setting. The raffle was the usual signature event at the banquetwith copious member-made items. Many thanks are due BillFiederlein and his banquet committee!
Clean-up Thanks: Thanks to the Wednesday Crew for the ter-rific clean-up job at the Opdahl Building. Fred Saar, Fred DuBois, Ron Wolfield, Ralph
Zimmerman, Joe Kelly, and Wally Cook working hardin Opdahl Building clean-up.

CHAPTER NEWS
Sacandaga ChapterBy Gary Spencer
I’m glad o be back writing this column. I have been out for several months due to neck surgery and rehab.To bring you up to date on the Chapter activities, our January program was a demonstration by Mike Kratke
entitled “Turning Bottle Stoppers Out Of Exotic Woods. Thanks Mike.Our February program was an exciting and informative presentation by John Olenick. His topic was “Making
Chests and Tables with Mail Order Legs.” Terrific job John!Our March program was a presentation by two Sacandaga groups who were preparing projects for NWA to raf-
fle off at this years Show case. One group made a drop-leaf table for raffle as well as another table for each mem-ber of the group.( seven in all) The other group made a large chest and a deluxe rocking horse. Good work guys !
Our April Meeting was a progress report and rehearsal of a presentation that would be given at NWA’s Aprilmeeting on “Restoration of Italian Gardens.” A park in Broadalbin, NY. This is a several year project committed toby our Chapter.
Our May 13th meeting was devoted to members each bringing in an example of the best tool in their shop.They were also encouraged to bring in the most unsatisfactory tool or product in their shops each member thenwould explain the particulars of their examples. Great Fun !
Our upcoming meeting scheduled for June 13th will feature a trip to visit a local woodworking shop. At thiswriting this trip has not been finalized but we always have fun on these excursions.
Just a note: I’m sorry that I was unable to write this column for several months but I have given you a briefsynopsis of our Chapter’s activities to date. This will be the last column until the September issue of the newsletterdue to the summer hiatus of our Chapter.
Our regular monthly meetings are the second Wednesday of each month and begin at 7:00 P.M. at MayfieldHigh School woodshop.
Our next regular meeting will be June 13, 2009. Come on out! Remember we have door prizes and lightrefreshments are served.

New Sign forMid Hudson ChapterBy Joe Kennedy
I hope we all took note of the new Mid-Hudson Chapter sign which debuted atShowcase. Many thanks to Bob Boisvert, BillReynolds, John Maasz, and Jack Collomb ofthe Mid-Hudson Scrollers group. Thanks alsoto Ron Mower for contributing some turnedand threaded objects to this project.
We have been talking about a new signhere for many years. Now we finally haveone thanks to the initiative of Bob Boisvertand Bill Reynolds. All of us in Mid-Hudsonare thrilled with the finished product. We aresure that this sign will help us fool peopleinto thinking we know something aboutwoodworking.
We certainly don’t want to issue a chal-lenge to any other members, but who knowswhat ingenious design and beautiful crafts-manship may follow?

Aspen Log Jewelry BoxBy Wally Carpenter
I recently received the following email from Alice Carpenter ( no rela-tion). She wants to know if one of you fine woodworkers is skilled atthe art of making these beautiful rustic jewelry boxes. If you are, andare interested in working with her, please contact her in the phonenumber provided !
Email chain:
Hi...sorry this is so late. I did finally find some that were a little smaller,but you get the idea. I have some that are built vertically with drawersthat are a little more hidden. I am looking for a woodworker that makesboxes out of raw tree trunks keeping the odd character that a smallbranch or knot would add. I have four that I bought for my own children years ago at a show and can't track the man downwho made these. I am trying to come up with something original for graduation gifts. Thanks for any sources you may have.
Alice Carpenter 864-505-2500
Hi Alice,
What an interesting concept! I have never seen anything quite like what you are describing. While I don't know ofanyone in our group who makes anything like this, I will be more than happy to get the message out to the group.Thanks for the note and hope you get someone to do this for you.
