I am almost embarrassed that I posted this.........:o.....I had posted this box back nearly a month ago about the club challenge, and this was the logical conclusion to the thing........only unknown variable was I could not know I would get the nod for first place.....of course these small pieces of limb from a white oak were not the greatest turning material.

I just felt like I ought to post because it closed the circle of information left open by my original thread............of course it was nice to get the 3 gift cards from CSUSA, and my picture in our club newsletter when it comes out! :cool:

Thanks everyone!

Nothing to be embarrased about that box. What was size and finish?

I can't decide whether receiving CSUSA gift certificates are a blessing or a curse. It's an invitation to spend even more money! :eek:

Congrats on the first place.
