The Trophy Poll

[Mike S]

That looks really good.  Those will make great trophies.

[Bruce Brakel]

On my flat screen plasma at work it looks pretty good too.  It is better still if you win it. 

I rinsed off some more trophies on the lunch hour.  Pro Master 1st came out nice.  Adv Master 1st is a little pastelly because I forgot it was Z plastic and died it with X plastic techniques, but it is a disc I want in my bag so I guess I'm playing Adv Master in Kenosha!  I'll post some more pics tonight, here and there.  Saturday I'll box them up and put them in the deep freeze.  The dye bleeds slower if the disc is kept chilled and stilled. 

If you play in an unreliable micro-division, like any women's divisoin other than Int. Women, or any Junior or Grandmaster division, and you want a dyed trophy disc, pre-register at least a week in advance.

Here's one of today's:

This is another one that I'm guessing looks much better with a good monitor:

Those are awesome! Nice job!

Those are awesome! Nice job!

Thank you, and my compliments to your selection of a good monitor!  They look hideous on this screen, but pretty good on the dining room table.

Are there any of you out there that are woodworkers? Michler, not that kind of wood!

My dad made some basket trophys for the Winter Doubles League in the Joliet Area. Maybe he can post the pics...

Ok Ok .. I'm slow ... here's a pic of the trophies I made for the Winter Doubles League.  I donate them, I have a full time job I don't need any more money.     At present they are made from 50 yr old birch plywood, 3/8" thick.  the overall height is about 12.5" tall.  I make them in my little wood shop here at home.  I've debated going "commercial" with them.  I don't mind donating them, material and all, I would like some help.  It takes about 1-2 weeks to make 6 of them.  But I'm slow, and I'm looking for new techniques to speed things up.

With that being said ... here's the pic ....

Tony,
That is a sweet trophy. Your skill level is extremely high. Very nice.

[Mike Clark]

Those are very very cool. Nice work!!!

[Bruce Brakel]

Dittos.

I have a small woodshop in my garage as well, but it never turned out something this cool, nice job!

[Younk]

Very sweet!  I liked the dyed discs and I also liked the wood basket (both posted above) and the lazer etched one at Widdershins last year was pretty cool but probably costly.

[Bruce Brakel]

The dyed discs have been in the freezer staying fresh for the tournament!  Brett has some dyed discs for first at Fairfield Dubs that you can see on the Fairfield Dubs thread.

Here's the completed trophies for Joliet's Winter League ... the winners will receive them on Sat. Apr. 29th.  I will be at Lombard for IOS #2 will bring one to show Brett.  It's something to plan for down the road.
