Here's the new contest information!

On Page 10 and 11 of the August Journal are examples of segmented turnings. This contest will be for a segmented bowl or hollow form. The overall size should not exceed 10"Hx10"D. Choice of woods, design, are left up to you. Judging will be based on originality, overall layout, and workmanship (as best as can be determined with photos).

The contest will end at Midnight, October 5, 2010. All entries must be titled: AAW October 2010 Contest in order to be considered.

We will publish a photo of the winning piece in the AAW Journal; because the Journal wants to use top quality photos, you should try to take an original in the 2-3Mb range, and make a smaller copy for uploading to the gallery.

The judge for this contest will be announced shortly.

Good Luck!
 
Jonathan,
I pondered this question for awhile, but keep coming to the same answer: segmenting a piece is a challenge all of its own; would laminating add or detract from the segmenting? Let's leave this contest as segmented only, but I would very much like to see your piece posted when it is finished. 🙂
 
Great News! One of our esteemed members has agreed to be our judge for this contest: Bernie Hrytzak! Thanks, Bernie!
 
AAW October 2010 Contest - Results!!!

Here are the results from Bernie Hrytzak, our esteemed judge:

First-H Crouch
This vessel demonstrates good design, planning and execution necessary for a vessel of this type. I love the themed design.

Second- Robert Manning
A graceful design and beautiful form. An interesting use of grain direction to create a pattern. I only wish I could see it in person as chatoyancy as difficult to portray via photographs. Well done.

Third- George Guadiane
I like the way the vessel shape highlites the triangular stave and the use of the walnut/maple "sandwich" A consistent cherry grain pattern would make the vessel more unified. Good job.

Thanks Bernie! Well done by all, and keep your eye out here for announcement of the next contest!!
