\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Arizona woodworking scene came out in full force for “Game Night”. We were impressed by the 162 game-inspired project entries ranging from chess boards to shuffleboards on display. You all really brought your A-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, there can only be 1 winner, and we entrusted the public to cast their vote. With over 350 votes, there was a clear winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A big thank you to everyone who came out to the show. Showing off your work and bringing in some music, food, and drinks is our favorite way to celebrate you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every year the projects seem to get better and the show gets bigger. I hope to see you at the next one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st Place – Two-Sided Game Board by Robert Shuster<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Robert won over the crowd incorporating a classic: Monopoly. Everything about this game board was executed to a T using walnut, myrtle, white oak, and expertly poured epoxy. The intricate puzzle piece design is the cake topper to tie everything together. <\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_0_placeholder\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

2nd Place – Family Game Box by Bill Raymond<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bill takes a “what do I want to build and then I figure out how to do it<\/em>“, and this box puts his problem-solving and technical skills on display. Using walnut, curly maple, hard maple, padauk, and lacewood, this project stood out from the competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_1_placeholder\n\n\n\n

3rd Place – Poker Briefcase & Matching Purse by Jason Robinson<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After notching a win in our previous In The Kitchen contest<\/a>, another top 3 finish is nothing to scoff at. Jason continues to impress with outside-the-box designs and wonderful attention to detail. Plus we’ll never complain about Baltic Birch plywood poker chips. <\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_2_placeholder\n\n\n\n

3 More Honorable Mentions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Combing through the projects there were so many impressive pieces that we had to give a shout-out to a few more projects that just missed the podium. <\/p>\n\n\n\nngg_shortcode_3_placeholder\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
