The Nova Woodturners Guild 2010 Woodturning Competition was held this past weekend and like the others before it was a great show! No, it was a fantastic show! No, it was a super show! Yeah, that was it. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

There were almost fifty pieces entered by twenty different entrants with styles that ranged from furniture to sculpture and from small to large. It was an excellent representation of the club’s diversity and skill levels.<\/p>\n

The most sought after prize, The People’s Choice Award, was won again this year by Don Moore for his Cherry Burl vase with the burned edges.<\/p>\n

On winning, Don related the story of how this piece of wood was painstakingly turned. Apparently it had been in a fire and it was quite charred when he got it. This, as you can imagine, created quite the mess while turning. \ud83d\ude09 However, like a Phoenix it rose from the ashes to become this beautiful piece here:<\/p>\n

Nova Woodturners Guild Competition<\/div>\n

Don received The Warman Castle trophy for this award. Warman Castle was an active past member of the NWG until his passing several years ago. The trophy was named in his honor because of his propensity to offer help to other woodturners. <\/p>\n

Although the People’s Choice Award may be the most coveted, the judged awards are the most sought after. \ud83d\ude42 These awards include judging in two categories, Faceplate and Spindle, and three classes within each category, Novice, Intermediate and Open. <\/p>\n

As a bonus, and just for entering the competition, every entrant won a random picked prize package that contained a variety of different items drawn from a long list that included gift certificates, turning instruction, t-shirts, jackets, and more!<\/p>\n
