Ladies and Gentlemen,
you are looking at a winner. That’s right, I have today won my first competition. OK, it was only the novice category of the chairman’s challenge at the West Midlands Wood Turners, but then, you’ve got to start somewhere. So here’s the winning entry:
Made from a hard indian maple, with slices of mahonia and african blackwood for the bee’s body, finished with mycrocristalline wax and polished to a medium gloss.
This beat the competition by such a margin, that I was told I could go straight to the intermediate section. Yes, sir!
