was a great day

terrible weather and its a bit of a brutal competition (4 hours, chain only, 30 minute break for lunch) but great fun

Nice 1 Dave 4hrs isn't A lot at all great effort all round. Angel looks good.

Did Si (wisewood) carve at the comp.?

Yes, I did the sheep and her lamb that looks like a piglet:-)

I've got some pics but half of them have a blurry spot from a rain drop. I thought it was on my specs not the lense doh!

It was a tough day, I'm still aching but good fun and great company.

My daughter voted for the Angel.

A lot of truly inspiring work. I liked the couple sat together on the bench, Roni's warrior got my coin though. The Wizard was smart, and I liked the bear catching the fish.

It seems now that carvers have to move away from the bears, owls and eagles and try something more unique. It's the quirky that gets the big response, so no wonder that Pete's Cowboy took the prize.

Thank your daughter for me jim

and yes, you need to do something 'different' these days it seems but i think thats a good thing or the scene will stagnate

that competition is a beast though. I was aching today still and thats despite doing 4 hours or so of carving on monday to try to work out some of teh aches.
