JudoMom Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 My Dad made it to the final 8 in the woodturning contest!! Can you please vote for him again? It's super easy and there is no registration required. His first name is Keith and his piece is heart vine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 He's two ahead now! :D Gosh, that's a lovely piece. Do you have carvings of his at your home? Must be beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snickelfritz Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Okay, peeps, he has fallen behind a bit. The board is slow to wake up after staying up way too late keeping up with all the controversy. They'll wake up soon.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JudoMom Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 I have a few things. Before he got into wood turning, he used to make furniture. He made me a four poster bed, desk, & nightstands, and the desk and nightstands are in my bedroom now. My mom's house, however, looks like a spectacular wood turning show room. The best thing is that he's teaching my boys how to turn the year they turn 9. When we visit he takes them into his shop and helps them turn a piece. My oldest likes it so much we purchased a mini-lathe for Christmas. My parents are visiting next week, so I hope they get to spend some time together turning.

unsinkable Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I truly have liked all his pieces better than his opponents'....I hope he wins! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 That was gorgeous. How long does something like that take him? I'm not sure! I emailed him and asked---I'll let you know. This is his first official pyrography piece (the technique he used to put the leaves on the piece). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Both pieces are nice, but I lurve the heart and vines piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jewellsmommy Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Voted, and I really do like his better! Your father's piece is something I could actually see having in my home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spy Car Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 OK, I hate to admit this but I have been staying away from these threads as I can not vote one way if I think another way, out of friendship. So it was "risky" to link through. I did not know who was who. But I knew which piece I thought was superbly beautiful. Fortunately when I checked "Keith" turned out to be your dad. And he got my (very well-deserved) vote. He has amazing talent! And his piece is truly beautiful. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamrachelle Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Voted again.... I hope he continues to win? How many more levels will he have if he wins this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Voted again.... I hope he continues to win? How many more levels will he have if he wins this one? If he wins his Region final today, he'll go to the Final Four (this will be either the 27th & 28th or the 29th & 30th). If he wins in the Final Four, then the National Championship will be the 31st & 1st. They are coming to visit next week--it would be so fun for him to win while he's here.
