Merle Brown of Kansas State University was awarded the

grand prize of $1000 in the fo urth annual Student Design

Competition at the International Woodworking Machinery

and Furniture Supply Fair held in Louisville, Ky ., in

September.

His entry was a tambour extension dining table. The two

ends of the table are solid. When they are pulled out (photo),

the hidden tamboured sections roll out from the center and

the top extends. The piece is designed so that it is difficult to

discern where the solid top becomes a series of tambours.

Of seven other winners, Lawrence E. Hamilton, University

of Illinois, was awarded the second-place prize of $500 for his

compact fo ldi..g desk. Judges included furniture manufac

turers and designers. Fifteen schools were represented .

The people who organized last year's wood turning confer

ence in Newtown , Pa ., (Fin e Wo odworking , Summer 1976)

plan another one March 25-27, 1977.

Symposium leaders will be Bob Stocksdale, the master

bowl turner from California ; Stephen Hogbin of Toronto, an

innovator in the fo refront of contemporary turnery; Frank

Knox, a rare artisan of ornamental turnery; the Rev. Jacob E.

Brubaker, an old-time master turner from Pennsylvania ; and

Paul Eshelman, who was the star of last year's show.

Each day will consist of demonstrations and on-the-Iathe

instruction, with time for everyone to turn in the afternoons

and evenings. The fee will be less than $50, and does not

include accommodations. Registration is limited to 45.

The conference is being organized by Palmer M. Sharpless

of the George School who again will lend his workshop , and

by Albert and Alan LeCof of Ameranth Gallery and

Workshop . If too many people enroll, they plan another

session in the summer. For further information, write to

Sharpless at the George School , Newtown, Pa . 18940.

Mr. John S. Carroll's letter in the Fall 1976 issue makes a

valid point for the consideration of esthetics in the design of

objects of wood, a point that is equally valid in the creation of

objects of any material. His rejection of wood as a proper

material for constructing pieces that will not conform to the

natural grain and structure of the wood is a bit severe

however. I would agree that the appearance of a lamination in

a wooden object intuitively raises the question of

delamination and thus adversely affects the esthetic view of

the object, but this is a prejudicial viewpoint based on

experience with poor adhesives and the tendency of wood to

split along the grain. Most modern glues are stronger and

more durable than the wood they hold, so if the appearance

of laminations becomes esthetically objectionable, the

solution would be the use of an opaque inish rather than

choosing a heavier or more expensive material .

I disagree in all points with the letter from John Carroll.

Design, art, taste, it is all so much a p art of one's heritage,

education or circumstance that to criticize so vehemently the

designs shown in the magazine is entirely out of line. Mr.

Carroll misses the point of the whole thing, and that is to

acquaint readers of varying talents with different techniques

and bring to them information not available anywhere else.

He is so completely wrong regarding the spiral steps ....The

piece was exquisitely designed and executed, and to condemn

glue as a monster in the woodpile is like saying we should

never weld steel. The piece could certainly be cast in almost

any material, but a very clever, experienced patternmaker
