Thank you to Klingspor

A thank you goes out to Klingspor woodworking shop in Raleigh for hosting the woodworking contest yesterday. This provided a great opportunity to meet others from this site and see the work

I will echo that. There is a lot of amazing talent. Our good buddy Earl won best in show in the open division.Many other members took home ribbons for and other prizes.

Earl's amazing work looks even better in real life...so does Earl. I had a very enjoyable time meeting up with old friends, and new ones too. Where else can a group of people get together and say I remember your name, but I can't place your face?
I especially want to thank my fellow Woodworkers for awarding my Rhylander Clock the Woodworkers Choice Award, and NCWW for the cash award.
In all, a great display of amazing talent by fantastic Woodworkers.

I got there very late but was able to meet Bruce "sawman101". I had the impression from our forum, that he was a very nice man. Our meeting proved my impression. Such a nice man, really enjoyed meeting & talking with him.

I would like to send out a very serious thank you to everyone in the woodworking community for making this year's show a success. I echo what was said above in that we all have the occasion to talk with others but we can never get a real appreciation for how deeply talented folks are until we get to meet them and see their work in an event such as this. I hope that people reading this, who did not participate, will think seriously about joining the fun next year. It is the only event of its kind in the state of North Carolina. (Woodcarving shows excluded.)

I especially want to thank those folks that helped with the logistics of the show and demonstrated during the show. And lastly, on behalf of WONC, I would like to thank everyone who donated items to the auction and also bought items there. It too was a success.

Well Earl, that's one that's shocked, just you. Not may would be shocked to know all the accolades you get. Those are amazing.

My shop is just about done so I hope to draw some inspiration and knowledge from your work.
