2015 GKC Pipe Club Carver's Contest
I know most of you have known for a while now that the Carver's Contest shape this year is the Cavalier. For those who don't, here is a copy of the Contest flyer straight from the GKCPC. Go to http://gkcpipeclub.com/2015-Carving-Contest to read the rules and to register. Please remember to buy a raffle ticket as well, lest someone named Bob win the set again!
It's sure to be a great contest. Good luck everyone!

As a follow-on, a reminder that the classic English cavalier as seen in the illustration is only one of a million ways they can be made... and other than overall length (appx 7" because of display case limitations), there are no constraints. Any materials, any shape... show us whatcha got.

Re: 2015 GKC Pipe Club Carver's Contest
Time to give this thread a bump!! The Chicago Show is winding down today so it's time to start thinking about your GKCPC Carver's Contest entries. Remember this year's shape is the Cavalier. It MUST BE a working Cavalier, just not carved with a little nubbin on the bottom of the bowl somewhere. This year is also a "creative" year....So, pull out your imaginations and get to work!!

I certainly don't have the skill or know-how to enter but if anyone is comfortable with an observer in KC, let me know.

Another addendum:
Any US carver who does NOT enter the 2015 contest will have their Manliness thrown into doubt, their self-confidence and courage will be questioned, and they'll be mocked mercilessly by people making chicken noises when their backs are turned for the rest of their days.
Cuz the grrrl ain't a-feered, you see.
Just sayin'

No worries. it always goes like this. Pipemakers are a procrastination-y lot.scotties22 wrote:Guys, please be sure to register for the contest. So far there are only 4 entrants....goona be a lean set
Hell, there are usually several who want to enter the day OF the contest with pipe in hand. (Which is too late. I think the cutoff is 24 or 48 hours before the show starts.)
Earlier is still better, though, if for no other reason than it makes the setup & logistics easier for us, which in turn makes the event go smoother for you.
