STATE ST. Q GLOVERSVILLE, NY 12078 Q 518.725.8621 By RICHARD NILSEN The Leader-Herald Robert M. Tomlinson of Broadalbin has known working with wood was his passion since he was a child. “It started when I was about eight years old,” Tomlinson, 77, said Aug. 4. “I would make wood cutouts from drawings like Porky Pig and make them into lawn ornaments.” Tomlinson said he always found drawing easy, and likes to decorate whatever wood piece he is working on with a wood burner. He said he does “a little of everything” in the way of woodwork – from furniture to clocks to coat racks and even grandfather clocks. Tomlinson said he graduated from lawn ornaments to knick-knack shelves and kept trying new things. “I’d see what someone else did and then try it myself,” he said. Drawing, painting and wood burning the wooden pieces he makes set much of his work apart from other woodwork in the area. He said he has even done portraits in wood. A Korean War veteran, Tomlinson said he has made more than 1,000 wooden flag holders for families of deceased veterans. He said when he returned from the Korean War, he used the G.I. Bill education scholarship to go to barber school. He is “mostly retired” now, but still cuts hair for a few old friends and longtime customers. “When I had my woodwork at the Eagle Mills Craft Fair, my [barber] customers would stop by to say hi,” he said. “They knew about my The Leader-Herald/Bill Trojan woodwork from seeing it at the barBill Tyler of Tylerʼs Woods of Gloversville works on designing a ber shop, but hadn’t told their wives. chalice during the Adirondack Woodworking and Fine Art Show When their wives saw my woodsponsored by the Northville Rotary and conducted at the Inn at work at the show I got a whole new the Bridge in Northville in July. crop of woodwork customers.” He said although he didn’t sell much at the craft show, he did get a lot of orders from those who first learned of his work by seeing it at the show. Weekly, Tomlinson gets together with his old fiend Tom Loucks of Providence and they share ideas and specialty wood.

The sharing of woodworking ideas and general cooperation in what could be a very competitive hobby is typical, according to Mike Kratky, 60, of Northville. He said he is a member of several woodworking organizations, including the Sacandaga Chapter of the Northeast Woodworkers Association, where he has been a past president. They meet monthly at the Mayfield High School on the second Wednesday of the month except July and August. In July, an Early American sofa table he made was raffled by the Northville Rotary Club to support its charitable work. Kratky said this was a good example of the community help and interest as well as support the woodworkers’ associations were part of in contributing to the local community. Kratky said he was part of the administration of several woodworking groups and helped found the Sacandaga Chapter of the NWA. “We have no secrets,” he said. “We share everything. I guess it’s like an addiction. There’s camaraderie, fun and great gratification.” Kratky said he will be at both the Washington County Fair and the New York State Fair showing wood projects and letting people know about woodworking associations. “We do a lot with the public,” he said. Samples of his work can be seen at the Fulton County Chamber of Commerce & Industry, but he isn’t worried about getting the word out about his own woodwork pieces. “I sell them as fast as I can make them,” he said. Current president of the Sacandaga Chapter of the NWA, Ray Laubenstein, of Mayfield, is a bit newer to woodwork than either Tomlinson or Kratky. He said he really got interested in woodwork in the past five years, since moving to the area permanently in 1991. “I’m kind of new at it,” he said. “I Continued on Page 35 The Leader-Herald/Richard Nilsen Robert M.

He has learned proper air-drying through trial and error. “It has to be outside with tin over it to dry properly,” he said. “It can’t be inside, or it will get moldy.” He said he supplies native pine, oak, butternut and cherry to local woodworkers as well as for himself. He said he likes doing woodwork projects and likes supplying the wood for others. “I enjoy making lumber,” Laubenstein said. “I have a pile out back now air drying.” He said preparing the wood for carving is as much an art as making the decorative wood pieces.

Not only does it slow you down, it can affect your mood, your health, and even your relationships. Back pain is your body’s warning of strain or injury to the spine. A chiropractic examination will identify the root cause, and through chiropractic treatment, unnecessary pain, even surgery, can be avoided. New treatment options include the F.D.A. cleared therapies: • Spinal Decompression relieves pain associated with herniated, bulging or degenerative discs • Cold Laser reduces or eliminates pain and speeds healing at a cellular level. Give us a call at 773-2000 for information on the introductory trial offered until July 1st. Let us help you make this the summer you put your back pain behind you.
