You may have seen this insignia around camp emblazoned upon all woodwork, from benches to garbage pails. Franko Groovic is a member of Centenary College's maintenance crew, but he has a special talent: he is an excellent woodworker. Seeing this, Stu put "Franko's Wood" on the schedule. |
|
|
|
A group of campers, representing all age groups, took an on-campus excursion to the maintenance building to get to Franko's workshop. |
|
Franko, standing in a dimly lit doorway, greeted campers into his workshop. |
|
|
|
He gave campers a tour of the shop, including some of his own masterpieces. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
The latter of which, a whale, he demonstrated the making of, beginning simply with a block of wood. |
|
|
|
He cut it... |
|
...sanded it, and, in a cooking show-esque moment, showed us what a fully sanded and varnished one looked like... |
|
|
|
...which everyone admired. |
|
He then brought out a box of paper bags, and told campers that inside each were parts of a whale. Campers, and lucky staff members who got extras, were to sand and put the whales together. |
|
|
|
This excited campers eager for a souvenir. |
|
Mind you, in this scenario, the children were real and the whale, made from wood. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
Though all the whales were different, they were all mounted on stands.
|
|
|
|
And the rest of the camp was green with envy.
