Mel Brown's woodworking projects. 

I began wood working around 5 years ago (1998) when our house was being built. It has become a good hobby for
me to work at in between our mission trips. I get most all my wood free from a friend of mine which really helps.
Some of the wood used, like the picket fence bed, are wood scraps from the house when it was being built. Let's use it, not burn it.

I attend the Alabama Woodworkers Guild each month when I can. I get a lot of good ideas 
and help from this group of woodworkers. They meet every third Thursday at 6:30 p.m. at the 
Homewood Seniors Citizen Center in Homewood.
