Fall Contest Rules and Deadlines

[Steve Worcester]

Well, the non-traditional finial box was not what we had selected for the Fall Forums Contest, but what the heck, we will go with it.

The article, written by Fred Klap, is featured in the American Woodturner Fall 2007 journal, pages 46-49.

Deadline is Oct 8th.

Here's the rules.

Under 10" tall and under 10" round
Must open and have a hollow for a box.
Must have a non-traditional finial
You may only enter one item, but can have up to two photos. Post the photos in your gallery with the title
"AAW FALL 2007 CONTEST" and send an email with a link to the photo to forum_moderator@aawforum.org

finial

Does a finial have to be a different piece of wood or could I turn a finial and the lid all as one piece of wood? Seems like finials are always different pieces of wood glued to the lid. I had an idea for a final that would be part of the lid... would that be acceptable?

 

[Steve Worcester]

Doesn't matter.
One piece, ten pieces, all good.

HI There

It took me a while but found the info for the fall submissions.
Thanks Steve. I am a new member here Jeff from Ile-bizard Canada.
I joined the AAW yesterday.
And will be entering the box with finial contest.
I'm a member of the west island woodturners and we hope to become a chapter this season still.
Thanks and regards to all from Machine artist.

non-traditional finial?

Sorry to sound not in the know, but just what is a NON-traditional finnial? And how do I submit an entry?

 

[Steve Worcester]

To know what a non-traditional finial is, you will have to read the article.
To submit an entry, you upload up to two photographs of your ONE piece as noted in the rules and email me as noted in the above posting.

Isn't today October 6 in Canada? It is here in the US (unless I'm in a time warp or something). I hope the deadline is inclusive of the 8th. That's the way that I read it (not that that means anything though).

[Jeff Greenwood]
