[Woodcarver] When should a carving be retired from competion?

[J and C Lukens]

ITS ABOUT TIME SOME ONE SPOKE OUT AGAIN.....TANGERMAN FELT THAT TOO MANY
CARVERS REENTER THEIR WORK AND BOLSTER THEIR FAME.....ALSO IN CHIP CHAT A
FEW YEARS AGO ARTICLE BY L.E. STUMP ECHOED THE SAME FEELING 

I PERSONALLY THINK THAT ONE BEST OF SHOW IS ENOUGH.....MAYBE EVEN LIMIT THE
NUMBER OF FIRSTS.....MORE WOULD ONLY FEED EGOS.....LET SOMEONE ELSE ENJOY
THE RIGHTS OF WINNING.....GO ON TO ANOTHER CARVING AND SEE IF YOU CAN DO IT
AGAIN.....ROTS OF RUCK
