The holidays are over. It’s time to put away the egg nog, pack away the decorations, and head back into the shop! Lumberjocks is offering you a little incentive to get back in the groove. You can submit your entry to the Winter 2009 Woodworking Awards through January 31. This year, there are two categories:
A Knot Like No Other – It’s creativity time! Don’t let that big old knot get you down – incorporate it into a project, highlighting it’s beauty or uniqueness. You can knock out the wood (if there is some) and use just the hole or keep the wood intact and include it in your design. It’s time to get knotty with your woodworking. Be sure to describe how the knot inspired you.
A Secret Compartment – Sshhh!! It will be just our little secret — where have you hidden that special storage compartment in your woodworking project? Whether you are building a box, a chair, or any other creation, use your design and woodworking skills to add a secret compartment that no one will find unless they know it is there! This project is all about the "secret".
