Hi had a day out today and went to the Brampton wood turners show which includes the inter-club competition... thought I would share some photos: Kevin

Just a little three centre box made for Northumbrian Woodturners club competition. didn't win anything but had fun making it.

I've finally found a bit of time (and courage) to make up a couple of Mistrals. One was part of my prize from the December competition - thanks Phil! Both in self cast polyurethane resin. I know they're probably a bit on the girly side for most of you macho guys, but almost all of my...

Tempest in Olive Wood (from our very own Neil Lawton) I have only been turning for about a year now, keeping away from the top end kits. At one point I did push the boat out and purchased some JR Gents. Great kits, you could tell the difference between those and slimlines. Then I entered a...

As title this is for the club competition not sure now that is complete that I like it but the wife does and I am not arguing. Made from Sapele and tulip wood the coloured bit was a failed pot that I had shaped but it was too shallow to show what I wanted so it became the decorated piece on...

There has been a change to the September Competition "or made to look like something else other than a pen/pencil" has been added to the criteria for the competition. http://www.penturners.co.uk/penturners-competition-forum/16145-competitions-2016-a.html#post241607 Peter

Every time there is a competition I always seem to leave it until the last minute to do something. I have a competition a week Saturday at the woodturning club and I seem to have chosen a piece that needs quite a bit of work, as well as that there is the pen comp on here did not start that until...
