Woodworks – May 2018

The Show went well with West Northants Woodturning Club achieving four placings.

There were some competitions over the 2 days and the small box made with a threaded lid by Gerald Hubbard took second place. Another of the competitions was a tiered cake stand made by Roger Gilbert. It was decided that the cake stand should have cakes exhibited on it. This went down well with the judges who nicked one of the cakes. It was worth it though as this took first prize. Unfortunately the whistle made by Roger Gilbert and the scaled down spinning wheel made by Doug Johnson were unplaced, but certainly not for the want of trying.

On our stand was a segmented vase made by Geoff Warr and this lovely piece picked up the second prize overall in the show. An excellent result for a brilliant bit of work. (lot of work).

The final accolade was that we were awarded the best in show and the shield and certificates were presented at the club meeting on the 16th May.

The full results are shown on the Tudor Rose website.

A great job was done by all of those who helped over the 2 days and in the preparations for the stand. Well done those who made the pieces for the competitions and also thank you for all of those that contributed their work to be exhibited.
