WOOD MOVEMENT
Today Ken Moran returned two boxes of toys that are ready for sealing and finishing. This includes a new Bear Push Toy (new for 2018) that he developed from a photo and prototyped a few and then did a production run of 25 .  Lon returned 50 paddle games all cut, sanded and routered and ready for sealing and finishing.  Don Roberts returned two boxes of toys that are drilled and cut to shape.  Jerry Hood returned a very full box of critters all cut to shape, sanded, and edges routered  -- ready for inventory.  Jerry has designed two more firetrucks from photos, and will be doing a production run of 10 each for the 2018 toy line.

Several of the boxed blanks were taken home with members (Don, Darwin, and Al) to work on in their own shops.
