For example, I never really had any desire to make a Christmas ornament. after a C&T a few years ago, I seem to be making them all the time. And to this day, I curse Jim every time I turn a new one

I have not participated in a C&T event but here are my suggestions for potential participants guidelines:

1) Hollow form, bowl, plate(s) or platter made of two or more species of wood

2) Bowl or platter with a Unique Surface Treatment (burning, airbrush, carving, texture, inlay, sandblast, etc.)

3) Multiple turnings assembled into a single themed piece (still being able to ship in a flat rate box) – may require some assembly required upon receipt???

4) Incorporate Glass into a turning (inexpensive commercial glass, sea glass, or glass beads, or marbles, or make your own etc.) as an accent / highlight or center of interest

5) Multi-axis turning

6) Daily use items

or a combo of two or more of these ...

Any feedback on past events, favorites or interest in the above or votes for additions to the list??

Any suggestions before I go in the back of my shop and brew up some ideas?

Don Bunce Senior Member Offline WR Rocks! Posts: 256 Valparaiso Indiana USA	Re: Challenge & Trade or Wood Trade Reply #24 - Jun 20^th, 2015 at 4:11am How about turning something that is not wood? Plywood, MDF, OSB, Corian, alabaster, bondo, epoxy, brass, aluminum, etc, etc..... Or any combination thereof.
