Some nice work there Wise - any ideas what sort of prices it fetched in the auctions?

 

Jon - It was on last weekend in N Wales

Prices ranged from about £500 to £1300 I think. There were some bargains to be had. A few were more expensive but didn't make the reserve.

some of the small items went for as little as £35. i was disappointed with this years event, last one i went to was about 5yrs ago, many more stalls to do with wood - wood-turners, cabinet and furniture, tools and equipment, etc. seemed to be far more food stall this year. if anyone remembers, that was the year some lady carved a lifesize flock of sheep, incredible.

speed carved pieces went from 35 - 250, depends on the piece. There were a few woodtuners etc there, maybe not all weekend. I think there were a couple of bodgers too but i didnt get a chance to walk round until sunday later afternoon as i was carving all the time. I guess there wil only be as many wood turners (or whatever) as show up, and i think they have to pay for a spot. weatehr was a bit crap friday but good most of the rest of the weekend. was glorious on sunday from about 11 onward which pleased the carvers. I love woodfest as a carver, its a great atmosphere, no stress, no hassle, great auctioneer, the wood is mainly good (i did say mainly) they look after the ones that camp (i grew up about 10 miles away and my folks still live tehre so i stay with them)... its a great event. I think teh auction prices were slightly down from last year overall but I was v pleased with what mine sold for

Some great pieces there! Congrats to all. I'd love to enter someday just for the experience, wouldn't mind if I didn't sell,a few quid would be a bonus. 3days just carving would be awesome, hard work, but awesome.
