San Diego Woodturners Page 12 June 2013 Safari Park Wood! By Dan White What Does Safari Park and the San Diego Wood Turners Have in Common Well, we have started a new adventure with Safari Park in San Diego. It seems that a new tiger exhibit is under construction and there was a need to remove some trees. Two Monkey Puzzle trees had to be cut down. Our connection with the park is to take the wood which we did on March 2nd and turn bowls for the donors of this worthwhile project. Several million dollars in donations will breathe life into a new exhibit for the enjoyment of the public. bowls for the exhibit donors. You too need to join with us in turning bowls for this Safari Park/San Diego Wood Turner connection. The exhibit should be finished in January and we need your completed bowls before that date (I will let you know of the exact date when it is determined). For your turning efforts there is a piece of wood for you and one for the bowl you are turning for the cause. Please see me at the wood area for your wood. We need 20 or more bowls so don’t be shy. Some of you might want to even turn a couple of bowls for the park. We hope to create some positive press for the San Diego Wood Turners and further our efforts in encouraging others to appreciate and collect pieces of turned wood. There is also a good possibility that this gesture on our part will open the door for possibly other wood at the park or zoo as it becomes available. Mark Jacobson, Jamie Little, Roy Ulrich, Barry Rockwell, David Heiser, Karen Freitas, John Roddy, Rob Eckhoff, and Dan White traveled to Safari Park this past Saturday and met with Catherine Osborne, project superintendent, to load several trucks with Monkey Puzzle wood that had just been fallen. The wood was taken to the Nottingham Center and sealed/covered. We took a piece or two of the wood to begin the process of turning C E R T I F I C A T E of Contribution This certifies that YOUR NAME Has successfully taken a couple of pieces of Monkey Puzzle Wood and returned a bowl or platter for Safari Park Tiger Exhibit Donors THANK YOU !!! See Dan for wood (please finish by January 2014) DATE SAN DIEGO WOOD TURNER
