Woodcraft Supply announced Bradley Duckett and his wife, Laura, as grand prize winners in the "Win with NOVA" sweepstakes.
Duckett, a customer at the Knoxville, Tenn., Woodcraft store, and his wife were flown to Stavanger, Norway, where they boarded a cruise with woodturning demonstrations and instruction by well-known woodturners.
“There are no formal woodturning classes. What we did was hook up with one of the demonstrators and work one-on-one with them,” Duckett explained. “I worked with Nick Agar on a really cool textured bowl. He showed me fantastic techniques. It was the first colored bowl I’ve ever done, and I really liked the process. And Nick was very patient with me.”
A software engineer for Scripps Networks, Duckett has been seriously pursuing woodturning in his leisure time for about three years and is a member of the Smokey Mountain Woodturners and East Tennessee Woodworkers clubs.
