Great ideas Gary. Best of luck with them.
Well I sure am glad I did not waste my time on this. These pens are out of control. They look machined not turned. Just great looking pens. Really something to aspire to create.

Part of the reward for entering these contests is the level it pushes you to as a pen turner. I dont believe that win lose or draw you would have wasted your time. At least a couple of the entries are from turners that are just starting out and jumped in just to try it. I think its harder and takes more personally to submit a pen knowing the level of competition your entering and that your pen has an uphill battle to win. However those that did it this year will find it easier to enter and compete next year. The birthday bash is just around the corner, start planning your pens now.
Scott, are the pens being sent to each judge individually one after the other or were all pens sent to one place where the judges meet up and look at all of the pens together?
Thanks
I am extremely proud of all who entered! It takes some gumption to put your pens out-there in this level of competition. As far as I'm concerned, you are all winners just for entering!
Scott.
If someone used the amount of the entry fee as an excuse to not participate I can understand. If your compentancy isnt that good yet and $20.00 is coming out of your grocery money then yes thats a good reason. If $20.00 wont break you than its just an excuse.
Have you tried making aluminum pen PARTS yet? THAT, made my head itch for awhile:redface::biggrin:I entered one, and with the one I entered I wish I could swap it for one I have done since then. I learned so much from that pen that it has taken me to a new level. I am currently looking for my next level of frustration in pen turning:bulgy-eyes:. If my pen wins anything I will be honored but I expect to come in a strong 4th place.:beat-up: out of 4 pens.
Thanks to those who sponsored and those who entered. Looking forward to the next round of head scratching fun.:laugh:
