I would like to send a personal thanks out to everyone who participated or attended the Klingspor Woodworking Showcase '09. In my eyes it was a huge success. Everything went smoothly, we really showed up in force to help. The demos where well received and quite interesting. I was especially interested in John's (02Blues) Spring Pole lathe and PhilS's Cedar strip canoe demos. But all were excellent and I really appreciate those members that came out and helped in that capacity.
I also really want to thank Jim (Froglips) who helped me a lot in the organization and took all the undesired jobs on, like being there at 7:30 this morning.
I don't know all the specifics, but I do know that NCWW also cleaned up in the competition:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap:eusa_clap. There where many members with award winning pieces and two that came away with Best in Show in their class. AlexL cleaned up in the Youth competition for the second year in a row winning 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and Best of Show for his pens. And Stephen (Striker) took the Best of Show in the top Open class for his Cherry Serpentine-front Chest with Yellowheart stringing and inlays.
All in all it was a great day, and I am very proud of all the members on this site.
Thanks,
Dave
