Australian woodturning exhibition

**Allan at Wallan** · 19th June 2011, 10:19 PM

I spent a couple of hours selling raffle tickets at the Exhibition and
again thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Met a few friends from the various woodies fraternities and shared
some comments regarding the outstanding entries on display.

Took a few photos just to show the vast array of ideas but did not
have time to write down the winners. I will attach four at a time and
see if they load ok.

A few more to look at.

And still they come.

And the last three.

All photos taken with my "el-cheapo Kodak" digital
without using a tripod or flash. Hope they prove suitable.

Allan.
Very nice. Thankyou for your time in showing them. There are some great pieces there.

Thanks for taking the photos, and making the effort to post here. It's appreciated by those who couldn't make it there in person.

Thanls Allan nice to see others efforts, I see a familiar segemented bowl

I went on Friday and I was amazed at some of the turnings, must have been very difficult for the judges (one of them our own ) to decide on the winners.

I was particularly impressed with the Doughnut Sculptures in the Identical Pair created by Lois Green. It was made of Silky Oak/Silver Ash/Purple Heart little pieces laminated together into little rings, turned inside and outside, then laminated into two identical interlocking doughnuts.

She also gracefully spent some time with me explaining how it was done.

A great effort by everyone.

Peter.

I believe this can be seen in the background of the 3rd photo posted above.

Sadly, not only did I not make it into the Exhibition but my entry is - even as I type - still sitting on my lathe.

So thanks. Allan, for my first look at the offerings!

Anybody know who won which categories? The AWE website doesn't appear to have been updated yet.

(Impatience can be a virtue. Honestly!

Fantastic variety, thank you for sharing.

Thanks Allan for posting the pictures.

I was going to enter but like Skew my job is still sitting on the bench not finished

Regards
David
