The International Design in Wood Exhibition, held in conjunction with the San Diego County Fair, continues to gain national prominence as a showcase of fine wood craftsmanship. Sponsored by the San Diego Fine Woodworkers, this 32nd annual competition received over 320 entries by more than 170 woodworkers from 12 states and Mexico. Boris Khechoyan of Anaheim, CA was the big winner for his Unfinished Table with Tablecloth, winning the $1,000 Best of Show award and First Place in Art Furniture. But “unfinished” is a misnomer, as the Trompe l’oeil sculpture, carved mostly from one piece of wood, is very complete, with the viewer treated to a carved spider web hidden beneath the realistic-looking draped cloth. And Boris was not done with awards, picking up First and Second in the Open carving category. Other top prizes were awarded to Brian Carnett (Escondido, CA), Workmanship; David Marr ?M?????????
