Safari Park Wood!<br />
By Dan White<br />
What Does Safari Park and the<br />
<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Wood Turners Have<br />
in Common<br />
Well, we have started a new adventure<br />
with Safari Park in <strong>San</strong><br />
<strong>Diego</strong>. It seems that a new tiger<br />
exhibit is under construction<br />
and there was a need to remove<br />
some trees. Two Monkey Puzzle<br />
trees had to be cut down. Our<br />
connection with the park is to<br />
take the wood which we did on<br />
March 2nd and turn bowls for<br />
the donors of this worthwhile<br />
project. Several million dollars<br />
in donations will breathe life<br />
into a new exhibit for the enjoyment<br />
of the public.<br />
bowls for the exhibit donors.<br />
You too need to join with us<br />
in turning bowls for this Safari<br />
Park/<strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Wood Turner<br />
connection. The exhibit should<br />
be finished in January and we<br />
need your completed bowls<br />
before that date (I will let you<br />
know of the exact date when it<br />
is determined). For your turning<br />
efforts there is a piece of wood<br />
for you and one for the bowl you<br />
are turning for the cause.<br />
Please see me at the wood area<br />
for your wood. We need 20 or<br />
more bowls so don’t be shy.<br />
Some of you might want to even<br />
turn a couple of bowls for the<br />
park.<br />
We hope to create some positive<br />
press for the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong> Wood<br />
Turners and further our efforts in<br />
encouraging others to appreciate<br />
and collect pieces of turned<br />
wood. There is also a good<br />
possibility that this gesture on<br />
our part will open the door for<br />
possibly other wood at the park<br />
or zoo as it becomes available.<br />

Dan White traveled<br />
to Safari Park this<br />
past Saturday and<br />
met with Catherine<br />
Osborne, project superintendent,<br />
to load<br />
several trucks with<br />
Monkey Puzzle wood<br />
that had just been<br />
fallen. The wood<br />
was taken to the Nottingham<br />
Center and<br />
sealed/covered. We<br />
took a piece or two<br />
of the wood to begin<br />
the process of turning<br />
