Guild Meetings
Each month the guild strives to conduct a general meeting that is informative,
educational and enjoyable for our members. Topics cover a range of woodworking
techniques.
General Meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month starting at 7:00
pm. The Board Meeting is held at 5:00 pm before the General Meeting and is
scheduled to end at 6:30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend both parts.
We are always on the lookout for suggestions of topics or improvements we can
make to the meetings. If you have input please contact our program chairs.

Cascade Specialty Woodworking
4739 N. Albina
Portland

Craig French, long time Guild member, makes out of this world arches. Residential and commercial applications include multi-million dollar homes, hotels, cruise ships and a stunning array of very elegant properties. “French” will give a wonderful slide show presentation to get an idea of the stunning end results. Then a tour of the shop and a little ‘myth dispelling’ about how ‘easy’ it is to make an arch, a ‘simple’ curved molding. This will be a very eye opening experience.
If you’ve never made this kind of door, find out that it’s not that difficult.
Social time starts at 6:30. Board meeting at 5:30.
