First show

I got involved with my first show last weekend. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
I got started in the hobby a year ago, joined a club, (The Lancaster County Woodcarvers) and never looked back. I entered two pieces of my work in the competition and won second place for both in novice. I also recently updated the club web site, this is a great hobby, and a great club.

For cryin' out loud, show a little enthusiasm. No sense sitting around moping.

Fantastic start, lets see some pictures too! Keep up the carving, every piece gets better and better, and always keep your very first piece. Goodluck Bill

Andy,
That is terrific! Now plan a carving that will take the blue next year.

Congratulations!!! Doesn't it feel good and give a great sense of satisfaction. I'm like Rick, now figure out what you can do for the next show that will get a blue ribbon.

BTW: Great website too.

I have been unable to post a photo of the two pieces with the ribbons for some reason it does not work. Both photos have been posted in the past.
Enter keywords: 5 to Midnight, and Cherry Frame w/Relief.
Thank you for all the kind words.
