November Woodturning Challenge - THE RESULTS

henton49er · 2 Dec 2014

Here are the results for the Woodturning Challenge for November. The Challenge was "fruity" being the requirement to turn a piece of fruit from any wood or any turning from a piece of fruit wood. A shame that we only attracted eight entrants for this almost "turn what you want" Challenge, but good to see two "first timers" in Bubba and andy43.

Judges Scoring

1. Woodmonkey - A good shape and well finished. The sapwood/heartwood adds to the visual appeal - 10 points
2. Wybrook - Nicely turned and finished - 8 points
3. Dalboy - An accomplished project with the carved leaf and stem too - 6 points
4. Andy43 - missing the detail underneath but it's still obviously an apple! - 4 points
5. Grahamshed - An ambitious project for a first attempt at a hollow form - 2 points

All other entrants get one point each

Well done all, especially Wood monkey.
Some lovely work on show.

Woodmonkey · 2 Dec 2014

Wow, did not expect that! Well done to everyone who entered, some great efforts there, and difficult to judge with such a variety of entries. Bad luck to wybrook, I thought yours had the edge on mine tbh! Well done to Graham too, very impressive considering how long you've been turning.

Well done everyone. Very nice work all round.

Dalboy · 2 Dec 2014

Some great pieces It has been good to see so many progress. Well done to the winners (joint firsts) for achieving that goal. Mind you I think everyone is a winner
