Default James River Woodcarvers Competition, Richmond, VA, today
I took some photos of the carvings at the James River Woodcarvers Competition today in Richmond, VA. I don't have any names, unfortunately, except my own. Smile
The first one is the Best of show and best of open. Second is my attempt of a closeup to show some of the incredible detailing of the piece. The third is Best Intermediate. Fourth is Judge's Creativity Award, titled "Got Nuts?" Fifth is a piece titled "Geisha with scarf", if I remember correctly.

Claude

More Photos from Richmond.
The first is the Best of Show for Novice. The second is a try at showing some of the detail of the bird - this Novice is close to a professional! The third photo is another bird from the Novice entries. The fourth shows most of the Novice entries. The fifth is my first blue ribbon in the intermediate class!

More photos from Richmond.
The first photo is a great walking stick. The second is a very realistic looking dog about 4 inches high. The third is a neat rodeo bull. Fourth Photo - a great colored wood burning. Fifth photo is a news boy, about 18 inches or so (at a guess).

I always have so much fun looking at all the show pictures. Having never been to a show its amazing to me how anyone can pick a favorite or top honors.. they are all amazing in their own right.

I'm amazed at your tiny little gingerbread men.. wow that took on some eye strain. *grin* Beautiful peice!

Congrats and thank you so much for sharing the pictures.

Thanks, all, for the comments.

Marci: The gingerbread men weren't the problem - it was carving the holly leaves with berries and the snowflakes that was hard!
