This year’s Club Challenge timber was American walnut (juglans nigra).

Each member was provided with a piece measuring 240mm x 250mm x 40mm – an example is shown in the gallery below.

The timber this year was generously supplied by The Bearded Bloke Timber Collective of Oak Flats, who also had a wonderful selection of slabs, boards and turning blanks on display across the Expo weekend.

What’s this all about?

A watch display box

The winner of the People’s Choice award this year was Keith Houston with his take on a two-person outback dunny (entry #8).

Second place was awarded to Ted Batty for his latticework rim bowl (entry #5).

Third place was awarded to Tom Loosz for his well-crafted cheese serving board (entry #2).

Congratulations to the winners, and a heartfelt thanks to all who entered and helped make this another enjoyable event.
