Apr. 20—Standing in his home garage, Cal St. Peter places a round of Flathead Lake cherry wood onto a power wood lathe. With the press of a button, the wood spins. St. Peter picks up a knife from his collection of knives and chisels and begins to work. What starts as a piece of wood is turned into a unique tankard, a tall one-handled drinking vessel that dates back to the 13th century. St. Peter and his wife, Michelle, also make other items on the lathe: wine glasses, shot glasses and vases.
