For August show us pics of Fancy Joinery on items you've made. This can be any kind of item as long as it has fancy joinery!

This contest will end August 31. Voting will run September 1- 10.

Rules:
- Must be created within the last 60 months. That's 5 years
- One submission per creator/artist per category (month). Pick one piece. If you have a set and want to show how it matches okay but you are only entering one piece. Hi-light that one piece.
- Members vote for winners so your submittal 'marketing' post should reflect quality. Limited to 3 photos and 500 words. One post per submittal.
- Any Q&A regarding a submittal should be handled by separate post, or DM/PM. Expect questions to be deleted. Separate posts do not clutter the contest thread, avoids vote biasing, and everyone can share How's It Made (Resources forum content).
- Each creator can win a contest no more than once every six months.
- In case of a tie, a judge panel will make the selection. Judges' decision is final. Judges will remain anonymous.
- Each monthly contest will have two winners, novice and experienced/journeyman/veteran/pro. Novice is defined as <3 years woodworking, cumulative. "Experienced" is all others. Submitters must indicate if they are novice; honor system applies. If you don't declare, you're an experienced woodworker.

Didn’t think basic dovetails would be worth posting. Plus my better ones are well over 5 yrs old. But agree with whoever mentioned missing the post, I did not notice Aug posted until just last week. Maybe make it can be set as sticky.

There is usually a reminder as one of the banners shows previous month contest winner, with a link to the current contest if you click on it. It's been missing since the raffle.
