[Man Demonstrating Woodwork]

Color photograph of Hugh Vaughn, a member of the Texas Rockers which is an organization that makes wood furniture. He is demonstrating wood-turning to a group of festival-goers gathered around his workspace at the 7th Annual Texas Folklife Festival. A board erected between him and the onlookers holds some of his wood-shaping tools. Pieces of splintered wood cover his arms as he drives a tool into the wood as it rotates in his machine, which is known as a lathe.
