Dave and Sonya Barriger held their annual Barriger Bash on February 17 to coincide with Alan and Mary Lacer's visit. The day started out a brisk Florida morning, the the warmth of the wood stove, coal forge, and the pot of coffee got us all going. A most gracious Alan Lacer spent the day helping most members their make their hook tools, and then ground the ends for us. Former CFW Member Mike Allen made the trip down from Georgia with all of his welding equipment to help out with the days activities as well. Dave also had his treadle lathe set up for folks to try out.

CFW held their annual Holiday Dinner and Super Show event December 21st. Many members and their families spent the evening in great company and were able to review the best works of our members from 2006. There were some really amazing pieces on display. After dinner Chapter President Bob Walker addressed the membership and recapped this last year for CFW.
