Jim Derby Award of Excellence / BEST OF SHOW “Joey & The Black Eyed Pea” by Danny Kamerath, Llano
This sculpture (The Black Eyed Pea) was carved from a mesquite root burl I excavated to make room for a fence. It took 2 1/2 years of carving to complete. The sculpture needed a pedestal and I decided to make a grid cabinet (Joey) to put it on. Since the sculpture is to be viewed from all sides, the piece has drawers on one side and a cabinet on the opposite side.
The Black Eyed Pea is finished with Danish oil and micro crystalline wax. Joey is finished with four thin coats of wipe on polyurethane, Danish oil and wax.

BEST TEXAS STYLE “Bull Skullz” by Wayne Wise, Dublin
After creating my first carved leather bull skull piece, I knew I wanted to do more. The process is quite time consuming due to the intricacy of the detail work. I use only the finest Hermann Oak leather for my carving, and skulls are obtained from The Little Glass Heifer located in Dublin. The skulls are boiled, power washed and sun dried, making them completely pure and clean.

BEST ART STYLE and PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD “Grizzly 399” by Wayne Delyea, Granbury
I make furniture & marquetry of things that have meaning to me in hopes it will in turn inspire and have meaning to others. I always design and make the Marquetry first, and while doing so, it somehow speaks to me what kind of piece I should make to display it. Grizzly-399 (her wildlife tag#) lives in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. She is 26 years old and has had over 20 Cubs in her lifetime. She is the most photographed and loved Grizzly in the world. She has attained Rock Star status and in my opinion, she truly embodies “The Spirit of the West”.
This is my all original design and my tribute to a living legend raising her cubs wild and free in a world where an animal living such a life is continuously more endangered and difficult.

JOHNNY JONES AWARD FOR CRAFTSMANSHIP “18 Holes” by Joe Adams and Erich Elfeldt, Manvel
“Golf is deceptively simple and endlessly complicated.” Arnold Palmer
This quote is perfect to describe our one-of-a-kind coffee table created for anyone who enjoys spending a little time hitting the links. A unique piece of functional art, the original design successfully combines sleek modern styling with familiar elements from the game.
The top is Black Walnut and inspired by a golf club head. The silhouette of a golfer is inlaid using Curly Maple. Grooves along the top mark the fairway and lead to a recess in the green where you can display your favorite memento ball. The ball is not attached and can be easily replaced by one special to you.
The base is composed of a chevron leg featuring 18 holes, the piece’s namesake. It is made from Curly Maple with a Black Walnut stripe to divide the front nine from the back nine.
The opposite leg is shaped like a ball in flight on a flawless line to that elusive magical Ace. Polished stainless steel is suggestive of a gleaming club shaft and adorns layers of Black Walnut and Curly Maple.
Underneath the top, custom-crafted steel mounting plates provide for wood movement and allow the piece to be disassembled for shipment or storage.
The steel is professionally powder coated for longevity.
All woodworking was accomplished with conventional shop tools and without the use of a CNC router or Shaper Origin. The wood finish is a European hardwax oil that has been hand rubbed to a satin sheen.

UEL CLANTON WOODTURNING AWARD “Whimsy” by Roger Ellison, San Angelo
This coffee table grew from an impulse to explore nascent thoughts of a playful little table. Actually, it grew from a Texas mesquite tree, a Mexican royal ebony tree, and a Canadian highly figured, big toothed maple tree, but the urge to unite them as furniture began as just a whim of an idea. The outer curved edges of the top are of heart-shaped, reversed book matched mesquite; they invite perfectly round legs and gently shaped slats to soften the understructure. Ebony and maple strips provide a striking slash of color and unexpectedness, but the exposed ebony tenons are delightfully surprising. Numerous coats of tung oil based finish called Waterlox have been hand rubbed to complete all surfaces.

“Cocktail Table” by Lee Ansell, Houston
This cocktail table is made from an unusually large, roughly oval live-edge slab of mappa burl from the black European poplar tree. An external agent causes deranged growth in the bark. Fingers of dark brown bark grow deep into the trunk of the tree resembling clusters of grapes. The deranged growth of bark into the lighter wood of the tree trunk results in beautiful patterns of intricate swirls of golden grain interspersed with the dark clusters. Mappa burl has been prized for decades by furniture makers and decorators.
The base of the table is constructed of quarter-sawn walnut. The straight grain, uniform color and simple design contrast and compliment the complex appearance of the mappa burl. The leg pieces are hand shaped into gentle ellipses joined by a stretcher of walnut. The base is attached to the top with pegs, glue and lag screws. The top is finished with hand rubbed polyurethane to a rich luster. The base is finished with a hand rubbed polyurethane oil/blend

“Altar Table” by Bodie Pyndus, Allen
The table is constructed with white oak. The design of the table began with the idea to create an apron to have inlay banding plus stretchers that would create supports in a wedge shape for the crosses in the end of the leg structure. The in- lay is 1/2 inch sections of maple and padouk to build a block of 2.5 to 3.5 inch “bricks.” These were sawed into 1/8” thick for inlaying into the apron. Once the apron inlay was completed, a tenon was cut on each apron to fit into the leg mortise. Extra “straightener” pieces are glued to the back of the apron to keep it straight and from flexing that could cause the inlays to come loose.
A special sled for the band saw was made to cut the stretchers at 27.5 degrees on two edges to produce the wedge that would increase the cross. The cross meets with a half-lap joint in the center. The ends of the cross are housed with a bridle joint into wedged stretchers.
The table top has a matching single row of inlay banding that meets at the corners with yellow heart squares. The table was white-washed at 50% strength white gel then finished with Rubio Monocoat Pure.
This table will reside in the Modern Worship service space of the United Methodist Church of Richardson.

“Fibonacci Table” by Bodie Pyndus, Allen
This table was my first attempt to design a piece of furniture, so I did a lot of research to learn how to design. I learned about the Golden Ration, also known as the Fibonacci Ratio. It is a common mathematical ratio found in nature. When used in design, it fosters organic and natural looking compositions that are aesthetically pleasing to the eye. Once I discovered the Golden Ratio (1:1.618) it made easier to design pieces that “look good” and I understood why.
Dimensions: 28” x 17.5” x 28”
The sides and back have book-matched panels made of beech. The top and drawers are made in a contrasting wood - mahogany. The sides are joined to the frame with biscuits and dowels. The back is “floating” using figure 8 fasteners to attach it to the frame. A Minwax stain of Red Gunstock was used on the mahogany. The simple 4” drawer openings were selected instead of drawer pulls, so to not distract from the fluid lines of this design.
This table (or chest if you prefer) has every dimension sized with the Fibonacci ratio. The height of the table is 28 inches. Next (28” * 0.678 = 17.3”) is the depth of top and sides. Next (17.3” * 0.618 = 10.7”) is the size of the bottom drawer, 6.5” is the height of the middle drawer and finally, the bottom drawer is 4”. Even the size of the legs are in sequence, 2” x 3”.

“Wine(d) Down Leisure Chair” by Jon Percy, Austin
This chair addresses the frequently asked, but rarely answered question: “How far does red wine soak into the white oak barrel staves?” The answer is: “Pretty far.”
The idea for this chair started with the repair of a friend’s damaged chair. I had the honor of recreating the front leg for one of Hans Wegner’s “Papa Bear” chairs that had been damaged during shipping. The front of the frame was shattered, and the front leg was missing. As I repaired that chair, the lines caught my imagination. At some point, I was gifted wine barrel oak staves. They’d been kicking around the shop for years since I really had no plans for them. However, once I saw the Papa Bear chair, I envisioned a chair using barrel staves for all the structural members. The design came together quickly but building it was very challenging since there is almost no straight lines to work from.
A barrel stave goes through some interesting changes during its life. While the oak is still wet, the staves are carved into the desired shape. Then, the green barrel staves are heated by a fire burning inside the circle of staves as the iron rings are hammered into position to force the barrel into shape. That results in a crackly surface on the inside of the stave, and compression of the oak where rings are pounded in place on the outside of the stave. You can see change in grain due to compression on the outside of the staves and you can see the cracks on the inside of the stave. I think the impact of the stave’s previous life gives this new chair an aged, lived-in appearance.
The grooves seen in several of the staves are the grooves cut to hold the barrel heads in place once all the iron rings are pounded into position. I left them to remind the sitter from where the chair evolved. The seat is Danish cord which provides both comfort and keeps the weight of the chair down. After sanding all surfaces to 220 grit, the wooden pieces of the chair were finished with multiple coats of a tun oil/varnish/turpentine blend followed by a coat of wax.

“Bluebird Days” by Wayne Delyea, Granbury
In February of 2022 while working in my shop on a record-setting Eleven below zero snowy day, a small male Eastern Bluebird tapped on the window of my studio as if to get in. He continued this daily routine until Spring and would only fly away if I got too close to the window to take a photo. He and his mate had made a nest in a nearby Woodpecker hole on a Pecan Tree where they raised their young prior to flying North for cooler temperatures. I make furniture with meaning and this little guy sure meant a lot to me. In fact, strangers and friends would come to my shop just to see if he was real. This cabinet is my tribute to my small Blue friend who along with the Alamo truly displays the Spirit of Texas.
I designed the Marquetry first using photos and sketches of him making him slightly larger than life so I had more room for details. He actually sat on a Pecan branch; however they aren’t very pretty in winter and early spring, so I selected a Dogwood Tree with Spring Blossoms. We all look forward to Bluebird Days.
I designed the Marquetry to feature him on a branch that comes up from the bottom of the door and continues all the way around the cabinet ending on the left side near the door. The dark wood of the cabinet is all natural Ebony.
All 4 sides of the cabinet and the apron were made of bent laminations (curves) creating a small footprint while providing quite a spacious interior. Inside I added a small drawer of Granadillo Wood lined with Blue Velvet and topped it off with an Ebony pull. The lighter wood used for legs, top is all solid American Beech.
The small bottom shelf is also made of the same Ebony Veneer and solid Beech. It features an engraving of the Alamo, one of Texas’ most hallowed monuments.
Solid Woods used: American Beech, Ebony solid and veneered, Granadillo, as well as various dyed and natural color veneers from around the world.
