The June Challenge is “A Pot Pourri Bowl and lid”. Richard Findley has kindly agreed to judge this month’s Challenge, and there will be a plaque for first place, kindly made for us by forum member Daven. Many thanks to both!! =D> =D> =D>
Challenge Requirements: “Pot Pourri Bowl and Lid”

The Challenge is open to anyone and everyone
Your entry must be new and made specifically for the Challenge
Entries must be made entirely of wood which to be turned on a lathe using woodturning tools

Typically a pot pourri bowl is a (possibly) pierced bowl with a (definitely) pierced and loosely fitting lid.
Segmented turning, decoration, colouring, pyrography are not allowed
Piercing, hollowing and texturing are allowed, but the principal requirement is for the judge to be able to see your turning skills.
