Accepted!

[Jason Clark2]

The Tohono Chul Park Museum in Tucson is having an exhibit celebrating the Mesquite tree. They had a call for entries with the requirement that the pieces be made of Mesquite or feature the Mesquite tree (photos, paintings, etc). I submitted 5 pieces in total and I received notice today that the 3 pieces below were accepted and will be on display in the museum from 4/26 - 7/22.

Congratulations on your acceptance. I've never had any mesquite to turn, since I live in S. Indiana. I'd like to try it sometime. Great color of the wood and great forms.

[Brian Brown]

Congrats Jason. They are great pieces, but I especially like Relic II.

[Kathy Marshall]

congratulations, mesquite to turn for show is a great idea

[John Keeton]

Congrats, Jason! Will the museum offer them for sale? That is often the case with exhibits. Hopefully, this results in some recognition and sales.

[Baxter Smith]

Congrats Jason. Those are some pretty pieces. I am sure it will be a great exhibit!

[Prashun Patel]

What a cool honor. Congratulations. Those pieces are beautiful. I'm partial to the first one. Turning that lip must have been challenging.

Beautiful work.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Very nice Jason, I'm going to have to get some mesquite, what an interesing wood and your finish is beautiful.

[Harvey Ghesser]

And they didn't want to display Relic I?:confused::eek:

Nice work on all especially Relic I!

[Gary Sichmeller]

Very nice pieces Jason. Especially like Relic I!

[Jason Clark2]

They had to be made of Mesquite. Relic I is made out of Desert Ironwood so it wasn't submitted. It was displayed last year at the AAW Turning 25 exhibit in Minneapolis during the national symposium.

All 3 pieces will be for sale during the show with a 60/40 split on the sale price.
