Rex didn't win an award this year, but his piece was gorgeous. His piece this year was in the Contemporary Category. It has clean and simple lines, but was far from simple to make and the finish is awesome. Sometimes the judges don't appreciate or overlook pieces for their seeming simplicity. We know he can't expect to win something every year, but it would sure be nice!
Congratulations to all these great artists and their beautiful craftsmanship!
