So natural edges are out? That'll be a shame. Does it also mean that if someone have a bark inclusion in their blank they have to turn it out as we're not allowed inclusions, holes etc? I know that earlier you said not to fill inclusions with epoxy and metal etc (quite reasonable given the no decoration bit) but not to allow natural features / edges???

Rules are rules I guess (assuming that the above it right) I just hope that no one else has included any bark, natural edges etc.

I have a natural edge to my bowl. No burning ,carving, texturing, colouring ,piercing etc as per rules. Timber just as nature made it.

I really hope at this late stage more constraints are not added that disqualify a piece made to the original rules. This is supposed to be fun and getting people into their workshops after-all!

[Paul.J]

That's my bowl finished now
Just hope i've made it right :? :lol:

 

[chill]

Hmmm, have a slight inclusion, hasn`t been enhanced in any way just as nature intended, it is a standard bowl, is a nice grain pattern allowed? :?

 

[Wood spoiler]

thats where you guys have all gone wrong ...

to be on the safe side i have used a perfectly natural, elf & safety approved , totally lacking natural edges, inclusions, grain and features tupperware blank!

has to be a winner :wink:

What me? employing diversionary tactics .... never

 

[whacky]

Let’s no forget this is being organised out of good will and participation is not compulsory!

CLARIFICATION RE JANUARY ENTRY'S

I had stated at the beginning of January that this months entry's were to be standard bowls , Listing as many exclusions as I could think of at the time to encourage entrants to produce a standard bow

It has now come to light that some entrants want to include ( Natural edge / Bark inclusion ) as part of a standard bowl ,
I understand that bark is part of a log but cant see how it is standard ?
does this mean all bowls will have to have it to be standard ?
If so then my what I thought was a standard bowl is now not a standard bowl as it has no bark / natural edge

All I can ask is for the entrants to either

1 Enter the bowl with a natural edge / bark included and let the Judge decide if it is a standard bowl or

2 Turn a replacement bowl ( Standard )

3 Not enter this month if you have no time to do a replacement

I had hoped my description was sufficient and the term " Standard bowl " would have been taken as such , But It looks like I have failed , so I apologise for being misleading


I will endeavor to be more specific for the February Challenge
