[Woodcarver] Mint Tin Contest Update

[Matt Kelley]

Hello Carvers -

Just an update and reminder about the WOM Mint Tin Carving Contest -

1)  We've have had a number of prizes donated,  including a $50 grand  
prize and a number of magazine gift certs.

2)  One carver asked if carvings had to be removable from the tin - he  
wants to be able to use the tin as a frame or backdrop.   The carving  
may be attached to the frame - no problem with that.

2)  Another carver asked if there would be a category that would  
include general whittling -  or the most carvings in a tin.

If there are a number of submissions that would fall into a general  
whittling category, (like tiny carved chains or ball-in-a-box)  then  
we'll create a category for that purpose.

We will have a prize for the most carvings in a tin -  but we'll be  
looking for real individual carvings and not just volume -  a tin full  
of carved toothpicks might not win that prize.


This contest is shaping up to be lots of fun -  don't miss out.  The  
carvers that won in the Carpenter Pencil contest were the ones that  
showed imagination and creative use of the material - so go have fun  
with this contest.   Please pass the word to your carving buddies that  
might not be in the mail group.
