I was asked to donate a piece for the 2 for 1 raffle down at SWAT this year. It took me a while but here is the end result.
Big leaf maple, 4" wide x 3" tall, tung oil finish
Come on down and you'll have a chance to win this and/or a bunch of great turnings and prizes.
Comments always encouraged, thanks.

I'll buy some tickets. I also intend to win the AB lathe this year.

That's a generous gift of your time, Scott. At least one ticket buyer will go home happy.

Very well done Scott, awesome piece

I thought I saw that the "big lathe" donation was a Stubby this year, not a Robust.Originally Posted by Paul Gilbert
either way - I'll be winning it.

Good to hear all of you guys plan to win. That means you will be needing tickets...look for the old guy with a shaved head selling them if you do not already have some.

South West Area Turners. They put on the second largest woodturning symposium each year in August, in Waco TX. It is a fantastic time and I will be there hob knobbing, buying more stuff and doing a couple demos. Come on down!

Another neat pierced piece Scott. Long way for me to attend but if you tell me how to buy raffle tickets I will lend my support, and have a chance to win a Scott Hackler for my mantle.

Thanks for the thought of support Faust. Unfortunately they only sell the raffle tickets on sight and its a "must be present" to win situation. Makes for a heck of a raffle with all the turnings, tools and lathes they give away.
You'll be close to the national AAW Symposium, when it's in Pittsburg! Don't think I will make that one, but I guess I should never say never.

I refer to the SWAT attendees as the "over" bunch. 80% of the bunch are over 60, over weight, wearing a comb over or just plain bald.

I resemble that remark!
