Competition Pieces

Octobers meeting at the Woodshed was well supported considering quite a few members were away at the Guild Seminar in Ballina. I myself was in England, but thanks to the efforts of Dennis Farrell I am able to give you a flavour of what happened.
Our own member Colin Brashaw demonstrated a Yew vase with a natural edge, I am told by those who were there that it was quite a demo..

Competition pieces are also shown below.
