Awards and Recognition

Rockler & Woodworkers' Guild of Georgia contest - 1st Place
Our local Rockler store arranged a contest for Guild members. We were given a 3 foot x 7" x 3/4" piece of maple and told to make something with it. We were allowed to include up to 25% of additional material. As the piece of maple was quite large I made two boxes, which I call TwoTone Celtic Star and TwoTone Compass Rose. The brown parts are stained. The lid and base are plywood which I veneered. The little brass pins holding the legs in place are brass screws which I ground the heads off, leaving attractive pins. I turned the knobs, each with a slightly different shape to match the marquetry design. I won first place.

Certificate of Recognition
I entered images of my Spalted Maple Butterfly Box in the 2005 VeneerTech Craftsman's Challenge and was awarded a Certificate of Recognition. Click on the picture above to take you to the contest winners' page.
