New Challenge.

Robbo · #1 27th Sep 2010, 06:08 PM

We haven't had a challenge for a while so here goes:

1: The article has to fit in a cube 50mm x 50mm x 50mm.
2: The timber is what you use.
3: It can be free form. Goblet, bowl, lidded box or whatever takes your fancy.
4: Depending on entry type (see above) there may be categories to split the winners.
5: Winners will be decided by forum members in a secret poll when closing time is reached. The poll will not go up till then.
6: Photos will have timber type and finish listed.
7: Closing date is November the 5th. Guy Fawkes day is appropriate I think.

Make it in 50mm sections and stack them...

Here is an idea: a 500mm spire in 10 sections. Very Victorian.
