Way to go, Doc...

[David DeCristoforo]

In case you haven't been paying attention, Doc Keller took top honors in both categories in the first voting round of the Beauty and the Beast contest!

[Scott Hackler]

.....leaving here now, to go find the results page.... :)

[David E Keller]

I demand a recount! There is obviously a huge glitch in the voting... No way I even make the top 10 in both categories. I did a mock vote with my wife picking her favorites... I didn't make either of her lists, and I'm married to her! Thanks for the congrats, but I'm here to tell you there's something fishy going on...

[Scott Hackler]

Nothing fishy, just great turnings that appeal to a wide variety of people! Congrats.

[John Keeton]

I am just glad I didn't waste time entering - WAY too many wonderful entries!! Congrats, Keller!! I would note that your wife knows much more about you, and her view might be tainted somewhat.;):D The rest of us see you as a really nice fellow and great woodturner. Oh, to know the truth?!?!?:rolleyes:

[Tim Thiebaut]

Congrats Doc!!! I guess I need to go check out the results..

[Alan Trout]

Yes, David did very well along with everyone else.

[Jim Underwood]

I've seen all these entries popping up everywhere, but somehow my brain hasn't registered where the contest is...

Can someone help this poor ignorant find the contest entries?

[ray hampton]

I'm with Jim , where oh where are the contest ?

[charlie knighton]

"There is obviously a huge glitch..."

It's a conspiracy. We all figured that if you won both categories you would finally have enough lathe tools that you could stop smuggling surgical instruments out of the hospital...

[Fred Belknap]

Congrat Doc, I got to say the honor is well deserved.

[David E Keller]

...you would finally have enough lathe tools that you could stop smuggling surgical instruments out of the hospital...

Shhhh! They may be listening! Besides, I was just borrowing that stuff...

[charlie knighton]

lots of names i reconize on the beauty part from sawmill creek, again congratulations David

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats Doc. Very well deserved.

[Bill Bolen]

Congrat's David! I've gotta say no surprise here! Both of you entries were outstanding. They 'musta been, they both got my vote!! And you said your work wasn't good enough to go to swat! Heck, you could teach a class.

[David DeCristoforo]

"...They may be listening..."

Ha! They already know!!! Who do you think came up with the idea in the first place?!?!

[Kathy Marshall]

Congrats David! And congrats to everyone else that made the top 10 in either or both categories!

[Baxter Smith]

Congrats David! Awesome results for awesome work. Hope your wife doesn't take it too hard.... seeing the error of her ways. I wouldn't point it out to her though.;):)

[Don Alexander]

[Rick Markham]

They are both wonderful pieces David, good show, and congrats! It is well earned :)

[Russell Eaton]

[Michael James]

[Jake Helmboldt]

Holy Poop! I haven't turned much in the past year due to work demands. I feel like I've been left behind. The level of the work (from a lot of Creekers no less) is astounding, as is the range of designs. I need to get to work to play in this sandbox.

[Scott Hackler]

Well, well, well! For those who haven't heard yet.... Doc Keller not only survived the next round of votes down to the top 5 in each catagory...BUT he is still in the lead IN BOTH BEAUTY AND BEAST!!!

Congrats, to the very modest turner!
