Documentation can be housed in a 3-ring binder or folder. (or the equivalent of listed items)

Documentation is to be considered only when projects are being considered for a Best In State (BIS). Documentation

should not be discounted because of method used - hand drawn/written vs. computer created/drawn.

REQUIRED MINIMUM DOCUMENTATION:

Judging criteria for production will be based on the following areas: degree of difficulty, appearance, finish, and

craftsmanship. NOTE: Board footage is calculated as it is displayed.

Any projects in which CNC mills, lathers, computer controlled lasers, etc… were used to produce more than 50% of the

major components SHOULD NOT be entered in this category.

Items in this category involve student created projects in which students used traditional and modern woodworking tools,

methods, and techniques to create projects.
