KC Carving Contest sticky

[LatakiaLover]

Time to start thinking about 2015.

Disclaimer: ALL DECISIONS REGARDING THE CONTEST ARE QUINTON'S... I'm just his designated point man on this forum. Meaning what I say is NEVER the final word or official, but is the best you're gonna get short of calling him directly.

With that in mind, IF he decides to do the classic/free-form alternate years thing, 2015 would be a free-form year. Meaning there would be only a single design ELEMENT requirement, not a shape requirement.


Suggestions so far are:

--- Cavalier

--- Bamboo shank

--- Sitter (FUNCTIONAL sitter, not "rules lawyer" sitter like a ballerina)


Thoughts?

I like the idea of a cavalier. From a "creative" standpoint I think it really makes the possibilities endless.....and I'm sure harder to judge

[andrew]

I'd go for the sitter or cavalier, but if it came to a choice, cavalier. There is a lot of overlap between the two.

Cavalier sounds fun to me.

[Alden]

Cavalier. Then I can pronounce it Cav all E ay and make all of you think you're saying it wrong.

[mredmond]

Would cavalier mean drilled like a cavalier, or shaped like a cavalier? Some cavalier shaped pipes have standard drilling.

Functional cavalier, of course. (Else, why bother?)

I'm not sure that asking the contestants what they'd prefer to make is the right way to go.

[Ocyd]

I think you should just combine them all. I'm not participating I just want to see what'd happen

[billiard]

I'd like to see it a Cavalier

[d.huber]

A sitting cavalier.

[Tyler]

Anything BUT cavalier is my vote. Having said that, I think it would be an easier contest to win. I've seen a LOT of really horrible cavaliers.

[RadDavis]

Fuck a buncha cavaliers.

Hope this helps.

^^^ My thought, more eloquently stated.

[PremalChheda]

How bout a Reverse Blowfish Calabash Cavalier Sitter w/ bamboo?

Or maybe make it a little complicated and do one of the classics like a Brandy.

[The Smoking Yeti]

I like the idea of a cavalier. Shoot me.
