While the Board ponders all the design ideas from the 2024 December contest, let's get the first of 2025 contests going

This month's contest is carving, old school. Focus is creative carving without the use of CNC. Big, small, pieces, embellishments, any carving of which you are proud.

This contest will end January 27. Voting will run the last 4 days of the month.

Rules:
-Must be created/completed within the last 36 months - here's a reason to donate/gift/sell the old and build the new.
-One submission per creator/artist per category (month).
-Each creator can win a contest no more than once every six months.
-Members vote for winners so your submittal 'marketing' post should reflect quality. Limited to 3 photos and 500 words. One post per submittal.
- Any Q&A regarding a submittal should be handled by separate post, or DM/PM. Expect questions to be deleted. Separate posts do not clutter the contest thread, avoids vote biasing, and everyone can share How's It Made (Resources forum content).
-In case of a tie, a judge panel will make the selection. Judges' decision is final. Judges will remain anonymous.
-Each monthly contest will have two winners, novice and experienced/journeyman/veteran/pro. Novice is defined as <3 years woodworking, cumulative. "Experienced" is all others. Submitters must indicate if they are novice; honor system applies. If you don't declare, you're an experienced woodworker.

Time to sharpen the carving tools and release the chips!!! If you are snowed in next week, why not carve?

Wow, one entry? Where are the spoon carvers? Where are the carvers of embellishments? Where are the statue carvers? Where are the carvers?

Two winners possible, experienced and new.

Hank deserves competition!

Closing this contest today.

Love this. And sorry to miss it. Just joined. My 16-yr-old daughter is ready for the next round. Will there be a Feb contest?
