The Contest

[Rob Mathis]

Wow, I do NOT see a looser in the bunch,

You guys ALL have done well.

[Scott Hackler]

All I know is that I am glad I didn't enter the bowl or hollow form categories! Wow there are some talented people on SawMill Creek. :)

[John Keeton]

Guys, I think we ended up with all very nice entries - some great talent and artistry here on the creek. A tremendous thanks to all that entered, and to the sponsors for donating some fantastic prizes!!

And, of course, we couldn't do this without a bunch of creekers being willing to vote for their favorites!

Until the contest is over, please avoid singling out any particular turnings for comment so as to not influence voting.

Thanks, again, for the enthusiasm!

I think some folks got scared off. I almost didn't submit mine because the competition was steep. There is a lot of talent on this site. That pride thing kicks in when you know you are being compared to others (vs. just saying, here is my latest bowl). But hey, it wasn't like there was an entry fee.

My wife always says I can't win the lottery if I don't play. I guess that is why I still have to work. :rolleyes:
