Congrats to KimG, excellent and very attractive piece, a deserving winner IMHO, andy43 a strong second and probably more technically challenging.
Must try to enter the next one.

Well done Kim a worthy winner i thought, and well done everyone else who entered & thanks to graham and Paul.

 

[KimG]

Thanks for the compliments folks, I'm very pleased with that result, some fine entries there this time, I had a challenge picking the 1,2,3, from them for sure.

I hope more members will have a go at the next challenge, a Bowl, who cannot make a bowl? Doesn't matter what your skill level, be inspired, have a go!

PS. I forgot to thank Graham and Paul too, sorry about that, thanks to both for their time and efforts. :shock:

Even though I did not take part I would like to say that I am sure what I had in mind would not have stood up against the entries here. Well done to all that entered and some very well turned and finished pieces.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

I rather suspect you would have been a contender young man
