Peter, Mike, Paul, Rick, Miles, Chris
We continued to work on the dovetail joinery. 
See the photos as it is hard to describe how this is done.
Leo discussed finishes for the tables.
Leo demonstrated the half blind dovetail for the drawer fronts.
Tung oil is good to use. It wipes on and several coats can be appklied a day or so apart. It can be waxed with carnuba after that.
Use 800 grit sand paper to apply carnuba. A very small amount is used.
 Use a denim cloth to rub mor on if necessary. Do not use a soft cloth. 


We discussed a summer party.
July seems to be the only time suitable.
We will work on a time but not all members will be around for it unfortunately.
