With Christmas just right around the corner, its time to start to think about what you'll make for those on your list. So we'd thought we'd throw a little contest to jump start the Holiday scrolling season. And to spice things up a bit, we have an awesome prize for the winner! Mike from Midlothian Woodworks was kind enough to donate a Rose Box intarsia kit, a $40 value (pictured below)!
So what do you do to win this sweet prize? Its easy. Come up with a project to scroll for someone on your Christmas list, make it, take a picture of it, post it here and let us know who its for. That's it! Want to increase your chances of winning? While you are making your project, take some progress pictures and start a thread in the Works In Progress & Tutorials forum. Be sure to explain what we're looking at and how you put it together. Be sure to post the link to your WIP thread here.
So basically, you get one entry for posting a picture of a scrolled project you intend to gift this Holiday season. You get an additional entry if you document your progress in the Works In Progress forum. The winner will be drawn at random on December 1st and the results will be posted here.
This should be a lot of fun. With so much creativity here, I look forward to seeing what y'all come up with. I'd also like to thank Mike from Midlothian Woodworks for sponsoring this contest. If you haven't checked out Mike's intarsia kits, I'd encourage you to do so. The jewelry boxes especially would make a beautiful gift for that special someone this Holiday season. Everything you need is included in the kit. Including pre-cut/mitered box sides, all of the different wood species conveniently labeled, pattern and instructions. These kits are perfect for new and seasoned intarsia artists alike. Be sure to check him out. If you decide to purchase one of his kits, be sure to thank him for sponsoring the contest on SSV.
OK. Here's the fine print. This contest is open to US residents only (sorry guys, international shipping costs are insane). You can only get a maximum of 2 entries per person. Pictures must be posted in this thread to be entered in the contest. If you create a WIP thread for your second entry, you must post a link to your WIP in this thread as well to be considered. Creation of additional accounts to increase your chances of winning are strictly prohibited and may get you banned (we can tell these things). You'll have 2 weeks to claim your prize. After that, a new drawing will be held where we'll pick a new winner. Have fun!
