The results for the Summer Challenge are now in and are made up as follows.
My thanks to Richard Findley, judging the entries must have been a difficult task.
Judge's Scores and comments.
1st- Bobblezard - I liked the simplicity of this bowl. A pure, clean shape, well executed and finished to show off the wood well. 10 points.
2nd- KimG - While I'm not really of fan of this gnarly work, I take my hat off to Kim for the work put in here. He has not only battled with what would have been a tough bit of wood, but has also achieved an excellent shape and finish. Great contrast between the gloss of the bowl and the dry and gnarled bark. 8 points
3rd- Dlaboy - Another simple shape that allows the wood to do the talking. Well made and finished as usual. 6 points
4th- Dedee - This platter is simple, but turnings that appear simple are often the hardest to pull off well, and for someone with only a years experience to achieve this level of work shows great promise. Well done. 4 points
5th- SteadyEddie - This shape shows off the stunning grain of the rippled Ash, with neatly turned interior and the challenging rolled rim. 2 points.
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 ? )
Votes were received from 11 of the entrants totalled as follows
1st Kimg with 22 votes = 5 points
Joint 2nd Bobblezard and Dalboy with 11 votes = 4 points each
4th Dedee with 5 votes = 2 points
Joint 5th Random Orbit Bob and Woodmonkey with 4 votes. = 1 point each.
I would like to thank all the entrants for taking part, it is good to see the numbers climbing up again and so many new names. I thought the general quality of the entries was outstanding.
So ….
Overall Scores
1st place Bobblezard with 14 points
2nd place KimG with 13 points
3rd place Dalboy with 10 points
4th place Dedee with 6 points
5th place Steadyeddie with 2 points.
Congratulations to you all.
