Name that Turn - and the Winner is...

Blog entry by trifern posted 262 days ago 739 reads 0 times favorited 24 comments Add to Favorites Watch

WOW! I am overwhelmed, honored, and truly humbled by all the response to this contest. Lumberjocks is a wonderful community made of some of the world’s finest workers of wood. I feel blessed to be a part of it.

The quality of responses is just another example of the creativity this community represents. It is evident a lot of thought and consideration went into the majority of entries. Picking the winner was one of the most difficult decisions that I have made in a long time. I wish I could give a prize to each and every one of you.

I hope, with your help, that I can continue to grow as an artist, a worker of wood, and most importantly – a person. The inspiration and feedback received from this community has been the nucleus of my growth.

I have chosen Aine, submitted by Cyan3y3z. The mystic of the Celtic goddess really moved me. I found myself wondering into her world, a beautiful place far away.

Thank you all!

Joe

Congratulations! Cyan3y3z,

A very good choice Trifern!!!

If you’re like me your going to hate parting with Aine.

Now you have a repertoire of names for some of your future turnings.

Congrats Cyan and thanks Joe for the contest, it was fun. Like I said I have never seen anyone come so far so fast. You can really go places with your talent. I wish only the best for you in the future keep on turning buddy. PopularWW had a contest in their woodcentral piece, with a piece shaped like one of yours with the outside looking like leather and a black cap on it, it won the contest. This piece stands on it’s own though Joe. Piece. mike

Joe,

I am overwhelmed with joy and excitement that Aine is going to come to my house. She is perfect. Your generosity is deeply appreciated. To be granted the opportunity to have a high quality piece like this in my home is well beyond words for me right now.

A soul deep “Thank you” to you Joe. May the beauty in your heart continue to flow through you hands.

Here is a “TIP of the HAT” to Cyan3y3z and to you Joe.

Running this little contest was a real delight. You had a hard choice to make, but after going over the posts, I must admit you made the right one…... Well Done.
