<DIV>Yesterday was our annual show and so I brought along my short dowel
display of the round robin carvings from 1998-99. I do
this every couple of years or so. Yesterday, the round
robin caused more interest in a single item on the table than I have seen
in awhile. I must have told the story of those segments 100 times
during the day. (Do you think that meant the rest of my table was
boring???) I sure hope not. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Anyway just wanted to say that reliving the nerves, excitement and
just plain fun that those segments brought to me was a very cool
thing. Thanks to Len Dillon, Bill Russell and Loren Woodward
for some history that still brings smiles to many and great memories to
me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For those who may not know....The Round Robin Segments were regular
(typical) cane segments divided into four areas using the
corners. A theme is decided, we did Santas first, I
think. so each of the carvers (4) carves a Santa on one corner of
the segment and then mails it off to the second person on the list,
shortly in the mail, carver number one receives a segment with a Santa
already carved on the corner, at this time carver number one carvers a Santa on
the next available corner and mails it off to the second person on the
list. When the segment arrives with three Santas completed on the
segment, carver number one carves the last corner and that is the segment carver
number one gets to keep. So each carver ends up carving 4 Santas on
4 different segments resulting in 4 completed segments one for each
participant. Not as confusing as I make it sound, I'm sure, cause I
got it figured out. Anyway we ended up doing Santas, Native
Americans, Pretty Women (Ha Ha Ha) and Caraicature (sp?).
So my dowel has 4 segments with 16 carvings...quite unique and fun to look at
and certainly interesting to talk about. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope this hasn't been too boring to the masses but wanted to tell
those who may still be on the list that they were stars of the show
yesterday. A few took pictures so who knows, a whole new round
robin may start up somewhere out there....I can almost promise it will be
fun.</DIV>
