We are still looking for a suitable new meeting place. Until we find this space we may be moving around a bit. Do pay attention to the newsletter. I promise to keep you updated!
We will meet at
Hillview Center in Los Altos. The address is 97 Hillview Ave. Room number
16. See map below. Parking should be better, there is no book sale.
Lonnie McCormick will use his knowledge of tool making to show and tell us how to take care of our tools. This includes sharpening, cleaning, and tightening. Be ready to take notes. Lonnie is a wealth of information on this topic.
Bill Scott will bring in a juniper with complex problems and a long cascading branch. He doesn’t know exactly what he will do but we can see how it comes off.
Bill has been working with a variety of junipers for the past many years (at least the 20 years I remember). He knows them quite well, even on a first name basis. Living with a specific plant material for a long time and good observation skills can equal a great teaching experience with the plants as teachers.
