The November Challenge is entitled “Fruity”.
Paul Hannaby has kindly agreed to judge this month’s Challenge, and there will be a plaque for first place, kindly made for us by forum member Daven. Many thanks to both!! =D> =D> =D>
Challenge Requirements: “Fruity”
This month’s rules are:-
1. The Challenge is open to anyone and everyone.
Entries must be new and made specifically for the Challenge.
Entries must be made of wood which must be turned on a lathe using woodturning tools.
2. “Fruity” means either a turning of an apple, a pear or any other readily identifiable fruit (bananas and bunches of grapes most welcome :lol: :lol
OR any turning made from a piece of fruit wood (apple, pear, plum, damson, cherry etc)
3. There are no size restrictions other than if you turn a piece of fruit it should be life-size.
4. Segmented turning, piercing and carving are allowed, as are colouring, pyrography and texturing, but the judge must be able to see your turning skills!
6. Any wood may be used if your turning is of a piece of fruit, but only fruit wood may be used if you are turning something other than a piece of fruit. Simples!
Please post three images of your work together with details of the wood used, the tools, methods and finishes used to make it and any key dimensions.
Images needed:-
1 showing a general side view of your entry
1 view of the top
1 view of the bottom
A fourth picture may be added (but is not compulsory) if needed to show any other interesting details of your entry.
