always adding something new to their display. This spring's "getting fit" regime can be a much more pleasant experience using A and H's hot/ cold rice filled compress bags. So go ahead and work those jambs and biceps - then sit back and enjoy a brew with a relaxing compress strapped to your throbbing muscles.   Sam Dawyd - scroll work. Quietly sharing Allyson's exhibit table, her dad Sam also had a great display showcasing his own talents. Before him stretched an amazing array of pens, knives made with antler handles, plaques and wallhangings all worked by Sam using his very fine scroll saw and lathe. Sam is one of the foundling father of the By-Hand Festival and got started in his craft over 40 years ago when his wife bought him a scroll saw, and the rest is history.   Frank McRae - featured his woodworking genius with a wide variety of wallhangings depicting wildlife scenes, machine replicas with intricate moving parts, and plaques designed from wood pieces cut and fitted together employing an ancient art technique called Intarsia. It is an elaborate form of marquetry whereby different

patterns of wood are inlaid in one another to fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. Frank added a few more pieces to this year's collection, a ladder firetruck and pumper, all with movable working parts. His final products are amazing.   Maria Reid - sewing. Maria is a long time presenter at the festival exhibiting a wide range of sewn items. For all your festive, or every day table wear, move over Martha Stewart, Maria has it all.   Superior Creations by Tammy Dumoulin-Asselin adds something new every year to her line of painted wood and canvas signs, and vinyl decals embossed on wine glasses, water bottles and mugs. A gift that even the most difficult Mother-in-Law on your list would enjoy.   Flood Mud Pottery - Jim Sanders has been a well known potter in our area for many years and keeps churning out more variations in his fine pieces using clays from the Lake Superior shores. Recently, Jim has begun a new style of pottery for him, Lake Superior Tiles inspired by the various views of Lake Superior's shoreline. Make sure you check out his masterpieces, each is one of a kind and with a vast array to choose from you will not leave disappointed.
