Student’s woodwork wins competition
Entries from Sedro-Woolley High School woodworking students won top awards at Woodfest 2008. The regional student woodworking competition was held April 5-6 at the high school.
Byron Dickie, a sophomore, won the first place award with his “Segmented Ring Bowl” entry, as chosen by judges from the Northwest Corner Woodworkers Association. His prize was a portable power tool.
Dickie also was selected to receive the Mike Chandler Judges Choice Award honoring the top student project and an engraved block plane from the Northwest Corner Woodworkers Association. The memorial plaque in memory of the late Mike Chandler, former Stanwood High School woodworking teacher and Woodfest committee member, was presented by Chandler’s widow Becky and daughter Rachael Vaniski.
Klaye Kitchen, a senior, won second place for his “Hope Chest” entry and the People’s Choice Award for his “Coffee End Table Set” entry, which won seventh place.
Other Sedro-Woolley High School winners were Ryan Gugle, Trevor Eaton, Shay Walker and Morgan Nunley, whose work took third through ninth place. All of the winners are students of the high school’s woodshop instructor Mike Stewart.
Students from Stanwood and Auburn also entered the Woodfest competition, which was conceived in the 1990s as a Skagit Valley Tulip Festival-sanctioned event to celebrate the rich traditions of woodworking and tulip bulb production.
