I did pretty well in the annual Richmond Wood Turners and James River Wood Carver's competitions this last weekend. Entered 3 pieces and received 3 ribbons. Blue Ribbon in the Professional Mandrel category for a watch parts pen. White ribbon in the professional lidded box category for my teapot and third place in the novice functional category for my carved quill pen. I do not consider myself a professional turner but have to enter my stuff in that category per the rules. It's pretty hard to run with the big dawgs, but I managed to get off the porch.
I also did a demo on making teapots during the exhibition and survived. I feel pretty good about the way it went.
