October 2023 Meeting - "Tea Time"

Our next meeting on October 11, 2023 is titled “Tea Time” in an effort to showcase furniture that was built for the service of this traditional afternoon custom.  We will discuss the historical significance and build parameters of these important pieces.  Members of high society, (that would of course include the likes of CJWA members), would gather around in the afternoon to enjoy tea and light fare (now called a lunch) and discuss politics, world affairs and whether to cut pins or tails first when cutting dovetails.  Anyone who has made tea table, traditional or modern, is welcome to participate and bring their projects in!  (Let me know if you are bringing a project in!). For break we will indulge in a “spot of tea” and some treats.
