New England chapter first meeting photos

[greenmtnguy]

Our first local chapter meeting in Springfield Mass at the Woodcraft is history. Mudder gave an explanation of his conversion of a Sierra pen to a pencil. Nicely done and Leap did his CA finish with no accelerator or BLO. Thanks guys and I am sure from the feedback, there will be more to come.

I had a good time and learned a different method of applying a CA finish as well as the proper way to make a Sierra pencil that actually looks like a Sierra and not its distant cousin. This was well worth the going to, a great bunch of people there. It was nice to meet some of the people face to face that I have talked with on here, as well as some that arent from here yet.
