Challenge & Trade or Wood Trade
Jun 4th, 2015 at 6:51pm
 
I want to find out if there is enough interest before I go about setting up either one.  The last 2 C&T's had only a few members participate.

For those of you who are new to our C&T's, it is a Challenge to create a piece, to the best of your abilities, that meets the specifications given, & once completed, you will Trade it to another participant either in a Round Robin Trade, where A sends to B, B sends to C, C sends to D...  or you have a Partner Trade to send your piece, and your partner will send you their piece.  Trade assignments are given after pieces are completed and all photos posted.  If you haven’t posted a picture of your completed piece by the deadline, you will not be eligible for a trade.

A Wood Trade is similar except you are trading a USPS flat rate box of local wood with someone.

Jim, I voted for the C&T.  I've participated in several of the wood swaps and think it would be neat to get a turning from another turner.

Jim should we promote this poll in the "turning talk" and "Other turning topics" sections?

Guy, if you want to get more members involved in a wood trade or a C&T, go right ahead and promote it, that's what it's about, member participation.
It may be that there aren't enough members able to spare the time for this type of thing right now, but you never know unless you ask.  Smiley

I participated in the last wood trade and loved it, so I vote for a trade.
The parameters of a C&T would determine my interest level as I have limited tools and skills .
Thanks, Steve

I've found that over the years the C&T's have given me an opportunity to turn items that I may not have thought of, or may not have ever tried. Your skill level will improve when trying different things.
Look at the C&T's in the gallery and see what you think.
Jim didn't mention the parameters of the challenge, so you might want to suggest something.

How about a hollow form with some type of inlay. Be it powder metal or stone Smiley or some type of a dye, or airbrush finish. Thoughts? This would be good for beginer to advanced.

I voted "both" but would be more interested in a C & T than a wood trade.

Since I'm not employed at the moment, I voted C&T. Got some new blocks to make something from. Do not have the fancy tools to make a hollow form, BUT would like to see the parameters before I un-commit. Glenn J.

this is the best reason to do a C&T, have you do something outside your normal area.
