Dan Gehon - Specialty Barstools Print E-mail

 One of the most frightful projects for many woodworkers is making chairs and stools. The reason many woodworkers won't tackle stools and chairs is because there are so many different angles at play, and if just one of them is off a degree or two the whole project can become a nightmare, except for one determined and skilled craftsman, Dan Gehon of Specialty Barstools. Dan has been making a variety of different stools commercially for over 10 years.

The stools he makes are are in many different styles including classic barstools with round seats, with and without swivels, Tai or shinto type stools, with and without back, plus a variety of custom designed stools to blend in with current trends and designs that he creates from scratch. The woods Dan uses are variable, depending on what the customers want, from Red Oak, Maple, Alder and Cherry. Like many furniture manufactures, he also finishes his own creations, often with lacquer.

Featured Woodworkweb Member - Kathy Lindsey Print E-mail

 Kathy Lindsey discovered making things in wood in the late 1980s. Since that time she has fallen in love with woodworking and in making cabinets, shelves, tables and anything she can, from wood.  As a self taught woodworker Kathy tried many different types of woodworking, until one day she decided to try intarsia. She was fascinated by the attention to detail, and how each piece or wood became like a building block that formed a picture. Each intarsia piece is unique and each piece has it's own features. She now looks at everything as a potential intarsia project, from objects to scenery.  As a woodwoker who wants to push he boundaries, Kathy can do just that with intarsia. The medium of using smaller pieces of wood to "paint" a picture is actually based on ancient art forms.

Cedar Strip Boats and Kayaks Print E-mail

RaySurprises can pop up in the most unexpected places. On a recent vacation to the Columbia River gorge area in Oregon, I discovered a most pleasant surprise … a cedar strip boat, kayak and canoe builder. Ray Klebba has been building water craft for over 20 years, and his skill shows in the finished products I saw and photographed. He actually refers to his water craft as “functional art” and I have to agree with him. Many of his pieces grace the luxurious interiors of many of America’s lodges and corporate offices.  The boat shop is situated on the main street of White Salmon, a small town just across the river from the city of Hood River. If you have never visited this area, bring your camera and be prepared for great scenery, wonderful people and the trip of a life time … but back to the boats works …

Art Liestman produces incredible wood turning designs:

 "My interest in woodworking began during my graduate student years. As an avid music listener and musician, I was inspired to try my hand at making some percussion instruments both copies of real instruments, and some that were experimental.

 "I spent some 29 years almost exclusively using the left side of my head designing computer software. As I approached retirement (we call it being retarded) in 2000, it seemed to be time to exercise the right side a little."

Featured WoodWorkWeb Member - Bruce Campbell Print E-mail

Campbell Bruce Campbell lives and works in Coquitlam, BC.  He began woodturning in 1979 and spent about 15 years learning the technical aspects of the craft. Today, turning has grown from his hobby to his profession. He approaches his art by first learning and practicing physical techniques and then working to understand how those techniques are applied to classical designs.  Once he has confidence with a the formal design he looks for ways to alter or combine it to create new and interesting  pieces.

His work includes gallery items (bowls, boxes, vessels and sculptures), craft items that are available through shops and fairs and architectural work such as furniture parts, staircase spindles, etc.

Bruce's current interest is merging media.  He uses paint, pyrography and texturing to enhance pieces and is combining precious metals and clay into his finished works.  He also enjoys demonstrating, teaching new turners, and mentoring those who wish to improve their skills.
