Maybe, but I posted late and knew judging was early this morning, and I'm impatient

I did get 1st in the "hollow forms" category

. The only other thing I entered was my WW pepper grinder (see here) and it also got 1st in "turned item with added mechanism" category, so I'm pretty happy

SWINO (Todd) won 1st in his category and the overall award for best of the show for his huge natural edge bowl/platter

, it was gorgeous

. Had some real nasty edges to it

Not sure. Apparently one of the legs fell apart when they picked it up

, breaking along one of the spalt lines. I went in tonight to glue it up again, can't pick the join luckily. I also found a location in the display where I could turn it on

I got mine from china too, much cheaper and delivered to my door

Bonewood is soft, the spalted rotten stuff is even worse

. Lots and lots of CA is required just to hold it together.

What is the gelcote you refer to?The only gelcote I am familiar with is that which is used in fiberglassing .

It's Taulmans Gelcoat, a gel like polyurethane that is antidrip and great for burls etc (applied with toothbrush), I just didn't get the usual nice even coat I usually get. Apparently they have stopped producing it.
