Comments from the Voters:  Beautiful project.  I like the creativity of the artist and the use of materials.  Nice job!  Very artistic and use of wood.  Colored stains allow the grain to show.  Very Nice!  Very nice use of multiple skills sets to creat a great piece.  Wow, very nice!

Constructed of pine, this segmented Mr. Scarecrow was scrolled, shaped, and painted with water colors, mounted to a backer board, and then finished with polyurethane.

Spooky House

This small (4 3/4" x 6 3/4") shadowbox presents a haunted house in layers of cottonwood, sumac, cherry, and walnut.  Each layer was scrolled and then shaped before assembly and finishing with Danish oil.  Once dry a clear plexiglass cover was added to scare away the dust and then a black plexiglass border was added.  The original one dimension pattern which formed the basis for the shadowbox was created by Dean Mills of Wales, United Kingdom.  Artist is Barbara Raymond-LaPrease.
Comments from the Voters:  Outstanding!  This will be a fun decoration for many years to come.  Very nice.  Very nice, excellent job.

Leaf Bowl

The artist presents an ash turned  bowl with leaves emblazoned on the rim and bottom to showcase the fall theme.  Chromacraft paints were used to add the leaves.  The artist is Doug North.
Comments from the Voters:  Love these ladies!

Walking  Candy Dish

Would you take candy from the mouth of this creature?
The artist turned this fun candy dish from a single cherry log.  The bowl was turned with a natural edge that forms a mouth (does it bite?)  and has three hips (feet) carved in to accept the creepy black legs.  It is finished with Tung oil.  The legs are spindle turned, cut on an angle and glued back together to make the creepy legs that are painted black.  (Loving the Titebond Quick and Thick!)
When prepping the wood, the artist found a couple of bullets in the log.  The legs still have the bullet holes and one still has fragments of the bullet!
This dish just won't die while delivering tempting treats.....
The artist is Robert Love.
Note:  This turning is based on the legged creations of Rebecca DeGroot.

Comments from the Voters:  I like this creation because it shows whimsy, creativity, and imagination.  Some of the best ideas come from reading and looking around.  We need to have a demo by Rebecca.
