AWR competition

**leighd** · 21st June 2004, 08:26 PM

i was thinking about entering the AWR competition and i am 15 and i dont know what the difference is between the school and student sections? Do I have to build the project at school to enter the school section?

I was also wondering what type of furniture won last year in these sections to see if i even have a chance.

I dont know how many piece i can enter either. I want to enter a jarrah office desk with burl inlay and sheoak drawer fronts, jarrah dining table with rounded ends with burl inlay that follows the curve, and i am going to make a jarrah buffet with burl inlay and doors with a jarrah frame and solid burl inside them.

Sounds like a winner to me

Hi LeighOnly 15 and already confident enough to do all that? I'd say that you have a pretty good chance of winning.

I would think that the difference between the student and school sections is that the student one is for individuals and the schools one is a group effort. Don't really know, just guessing. Best of luck and post some piccys when you have something.

I say go for it - and good on you for wanting to give it a shot

http://www.woodreview.com.au/competitions/fww/ has the basics. Worth picking up the magazine to check it out as well. Any questions on rules etc I'm sure dropping them an email would get you some answers.

As others have said, go for it. Even if you don't think you have a chance, it shows others and yourself what you can do. From the sound of it, though, I'd reckon you're probably in with a good chance. Good luck.

i will try to get a photo of the desk this weekend. i havnt finished the drawers yet but.

so would i enter the school division becuase i am still at school? i have not built these things at school but i am building a jarrah dining table at school but becuase of the time i get to build it at school is not a very hard design. just 2 solid legs at each end that have a curve and a solid top with rounded ends and an inlay.

i will give them an e-mail but to make sure

i have only posted a coffee table and a burl bowl i made but i will try to get some photos of the desk. i think you will like the inlay i have done, it is a jarrah burl slices into 10x50mm strips and glued into the desktop and the gaps inbetween the burls stips are filled with black west systems and so are the burl cracks.

here is the link to the coffee table.
