My prize for the Summer LumberJocks Contest.

Blog entry by Karson posted 99 days ago 512 reads 0 times favorited 30 comments Add to Favorites Watch

I received today my prize for winning fifth place in the Summer 2009 LumberJocks contest.

I wish to thank Major League Woodworking

The prize consisted of a T shirt ”Property of Major League Woodworking Shop Dept”, A Maple Mallet which is modeled after a Baseball Bat. It’s made from an approved bat billet and is made at one of the countries premier baseball bat factories.

Also a Maple Marking Gauge for giving a perfect ”base line” for starting woodworking joinery.

Also a pair of ”Dug-Out” paring blocks for paring dovetails. They can also be used for marking gauges for marking out your hand cut dovetails.

All of these tools were made from perfectly White Maple

Thanks for the contest Martin and thanks Major League Woodworking and Tom for the gift.

And it came in a well packed box.

Congratulations Karson,

I hope you get a much enjoyment out of your MLW Four Pak as I get out of mine. If you do any DT Chisel Chopping, you will find that the Bench Bat fits comfortably in the hand, is well balanced and renders a solid hit with just a gentle rotation of the wrist. Chop Chop.
