I decided to give it a try again this year by submitting a couple of items into the Minnesota State Fair. I entered a turned poplar bowl, about 8 inches, filled with various kinds of wood eggs laying on top of some wood shavings. I took 4th place for this one. The other entry was in the birdhouse category where I placed 3rd. I took a piece of applewood, hollowed it out, turned a bottom and added a top out of some maple bark. The perch is a branch from a cherry tree. The pictures are not that good, but I was shooting through the glass display cases. When I get them back, I'll post some new pictures. This is my second year entering, first time I got a ribbon. I'm already thinking about next year.
