2018 NWA Showcase and Totally Turning

[stolicky]

Here are pics from this year. I entered a bamboo and walnut bicycle and managed to get a 1st place ribbon. ONLY, to be overshadowed by my 8 year old achieving a hat trick 1st, 2nd, and 3rd! She won two ribbons for pens and one for a wooden car she made for her 3rd grade egg race car project. Proud dad day.

Enjoy the pics:

Bicycle - 1st Place (turned handle bars, seat post, and some of the pedal work was on the lathe)

I should have built in a pen holder on the bike. Doh!

I attended there in 2016 and was totally blown away with the artistry. If ANYONE wants some inspiration for woodturning, these shows (AAW regional and national) are where it's at!.
