Minneapolis, MN 55408 Ninth Annual Northern Woods Show Rules & • Entry Form

Show Dates: October 24th - 27th, 1991 Location: Ridgedale Mall, • Minnetonka, Minnesota • Minnesota Woodworkers Guild P. 0. Box 8372 Minneapolis, MN 55408 1991

Dear Fellow Woodworker:

The Minnesota Woodworkers Guild, Davlins,and Ridgedale Mall will sponsor the Ninth Annual Northern Woods Exhibit on October 24th through the 27th, 1991. This year the show will be held at Ridgedale Mall in Minnetonka. Entries will be 11.rnited to objects made primarily of wood. The objective of the show is displaying examples of our work to the public. Guild members and prospective members are encouraged to exhibit their best pieces, and make special effort to develop a new entry for this year. This year the show fee will be $25.00. We will depend on your judgement to ensure a high level of quality for the show. The Board of Directors has decided to award two major cash prizes this year: The Best in Show and Peer award will receive $200.00 each. The two minor categories: Design award and Craftsmanship award will receive $75.00 each. All entrants are considered for these awards as well as their individual category awards. The category awards are as follows: Seating, Beds and Tables, Casework, Art Furniture, Minor Piece (all pieces that do not fit the previous categories) and First Time Exhibitor. Ribbons and certificates will be awarded to all winners. • The deadline for submission of slides is September 1, 1991. Photographs, sketches or completed pieces may be submitted instead of slides, but only with the permission of a Board member. A late fee of $25.00 will be imposed for any entries received after Sept. 1. The Board has made several changes to the Rules for Entry. This year you will be required to choose a category to enter your piece. It will be considered for award only within your chosen category. This will greatly simplify judging and should make the show run much smoother than previous years. As in the past, exhibitors will be required to provide pedestals for all their pieces. This gives the show a more professional appearance. The floor at Ridgedale Mall may be uneven, therefor, all pedestals must have floor levelers. No shims, or wedges will be allowed. If you have any questions please call me, Tim Johnson at (612) 378-2605. The secret to success and longevity of our Northern Woods Exhibit is the participation by a large number of members. This year is particularly important. We're being sponsored by Davlins, part of our agreement is to have at least 50 pieces in our show. This will require a major effort from all members to create new pieces, and bring back pieces from previous years. We're certain that most of you have show quality pieces. If you have doubts, let the Board be the judge. Finally, you don't need to show a new piece. A piece that has been judged in a previous show may be exhibited, it's just not eligible for prizes or awards. I will be coordinating the entries, and hope to receive yours soon.

Sincerely, £__ 1~~ Tim Johnson Show Entry Coordinator • • NORTHERN WOODS EXHIBIT - RULES FOR ENTRY 1) Entries are limited to objects made primarily of wood.

Works of art transmit these messages to the audience and invites element. Butternut is one of my favorite woods and never have I seen it with the audience to respond. Artists gives their life to their work, and in doing such a smooth surface. Jon emphasized Shaker form with butternut grain so, to their work they give life. Wait! Don't stop reading! I don't intend and a baby-bottom smooth texture.

However, as a furniture People were all over it. Again, I think the simplicity of Shaker style is very builder, one of my primary goals (along with just getting the damn thing attractive, but there's something else. I think people can relate to the idea done) is for my work to speak the language of woodworking in such a way of a writing desk. They can envision themselves using it - writing letters, that the audience will be drawn to it, encouraged to touch it, and hopefully poetry - being creative, communicating with others. There's also engage in a dialog' with my work. something about a folding, lockable front and small drawers (especially if Actually, woodworkers are lucky, most of their audience understands they have locks) that people find intriguing.
