Judge's Scores


Hi Graham,
Here's the results -

1. Dalboy - Confident enough to choose a finish that hides nothing! That say it all.
2. Gregmcateer - There is no rule that says bare wood isn't an acceptable finish. good arrangement of the piercing
3. Dennisk - Nicely turned but perhaps more thought could have been put in to how the bottom could have been finished.
4. NazNomad (oak platter) - Nicely pierced. A more even wall thickness would improve the piercing.
5. Samfire - Nicely pierced and decorated. More attention to tool technique.

Well done to all who entered. There were some interesting interpretations amongst the entries.

Regards

Paul

Entrants' Scores

( Just to explain this, contestants vote for their top 3 to which I allocate 3 ‘votes’ for first, 2 ‘votes’ for second and 1 ‘vote’ for third – rocket science eh ? These are then added up and allocated 1st to 5th.)
Votes were received from all of the entrants totalled as follows
1st Naznomad (platter) with 12 votes = 5 points
2nd Dalboy with 9 votes = 4 points
3rd Dennisk with 8 votes 3 points
4th andy43 with 4 votes = 2 points
5th Samfire with 2 votes. = 1 point

I would like to thank all the entrants for taking part, I really enjoyed seeing all of them.
So ….
