The
Rabun County Library's July exhibit is provided by Mr. Travis Barnes of Tiger. Mr. Barnes is a wood turner, and
is displaying some of his wooden bowls, vases, and other pieces carved from wood such as maple, cherry, and crabapple
found in our local area. Included in the exhibit are some of the tools he uses for his craft. These tools belonged
to his grandfather, and some are more than 150 years old.

Barnes exhibit will remain in the library through July 31 and may be viewed during library hours.
