as for the contest was thinking u could carve any size don't have much wood to pick from winter is coming up
if you make it to hard not enough will play so just one group l thinkin is good
ok u lot how many want to play
post yes if interested so our good friend from the long white cloud can rest easy

Ok, my 2 bob.

1) Spirit is right, the field of potential contestants is small, and we pretty well know how good everyone is. You could start handing out the prizes now.

2) Personally, to participate I would want a 3 months deadline. Unless I am allowed to get someone else to power rough the blank for me.

3) If you are interested in an informal challenge, no prizes, just the few of us pitching our brains against a predetermined quantity of the same timber for the honour of showing our work to the masses and seeing what our popular appeal is, I am happy to organise it, no problem. This way Underfoot won't win anyway, too intellectual for the masses.

4) An alternative, if they agree, would be to make the sculptor Underfoot and the carver Neil the counterbalancing judges of everybody else... we must find a more reliable way of presenting the details of the work, though. If that were the option chosen, I would be happy to donate the timber for the honour of being the third judge... the mecenate.

Gee, I am having fun. Must stop grinning or I will become permanently disfigured like the Joker.

The ball is in youse court.

Hmmmm

If it's going to be a Challenge then I'll be happy to organise it, I had fun with the box challenge.

I might also enter..the school's got a carving set I can use

my 2 boobies

l love the idea ,had great fun with olive contest ,didn't see the pelett one until it was to late

so how can we carvers 10 or so active members get the masses like the joiners and turners to join in
it would be a bit sad if there were only 20votes and 5 or six carvers

how about we don't give it the best carving how about the best W.I.P thread with photos mmmmmmmmmmmmmm me like photos

frank is right give them 6 months and a few may think about joining in ,maybe theres a theam something deeeeeeeeeeeeeep................... ummmmm life as a voise dub overer for vidios

hay NZ frank is good at this stuff and what timber may we be talking about Frank

hay NZ we all have seen your work and very good it is ,your carving type what u do u do well the best on the forum by far but underfoot is bloody good and makes a liveng from it and so he should be let the games begin

l think l could give you a good run for yu money

Two photo from the exhibition at Fairfield Museum batteries died back there next weekend so hope will have more.

Photo 1 almost life size Breast Plate & Sword
Photo 2 Castle

Wow love both of those but the castle really strikes a note, I'll show one of mine when I get a moment (although it made of clay). I'll be in this challenge if we get a bit of time to work, like Spirits WIP idea. What about mostly wood pieces? (my latest stuff is going to have a clay core).

WOW RAY Totally stunning! Inspirational. Unreal. Thanks so much for sharing

ray m8 plz tell me u got the ok to post them pics!!!!!!!!!
