Conewago Carvers Show Pics

Gary M. Peiffer · #1 11-06-2006, 11:09 PM

Thought I share the first, second, and third best of show pieces as judged at the Conewago Carvers show a few weeks back. Dave Sabol took first and second best of show with his Santa carving and baby bunnies respectively. Board member Garry McKinney placed third best of show with good old Stonewall Jackson! Also appreciate Garry taking the time to chat--- even though I had a bad cold! Hope to meet or see other board members at future shows or seminars!

Carve on!

Thanks for posting them, Gary!

I wish I could have made the show. These are two of my favorites! Sabol and Stonewall!

I entered two , pieces ,
Stonewall and the ladies. The ladies took 3rd in intermedate. Second place was taken by Susan's Wci pattern of the rooster and the hen . It was an excellent carving.

So I now have to compete in advance division... 2 shows and now advanced ... time for retirement

.

I will say this , some of the work there was just really amazing , I learned so much in the two days , it will be months before I get it all sorted .
