Familiarity has in many ways brought contempt. In the furniture and domestic ware industry, pine has often been typecast as a cheap and inferior material. In fact, the responsibility for this notion stems from the designs, methods of manufacture and marketing applied to it. Australian Wood Review with Forestry Tasmania , are proud to announce the launch of Re-Designing Pine , a national design competition focusing on radiata pine. Your photographic entry should ideally consist of a general shot of the piece, detail shots and a picture of you with the piece.
Entry is solely by photographic submission.
Judging The decision of the judges as appointed by Australian Wood Review and Forestry Tasmania will be final. What can you enter The piece could be an item of furniture, an artwork, an architectural fitting or structure, giftware, carving or woodturning. Materials Radiata pine is the only timber allowed to be used in your piece. The timber can be any profile such as wide boards, narrow slats, whole log sections or radiata you mill yourself. Deadline Entries close October 5, 2000.
