Section 313 4-H Wood Science & Industrial Arts
- The wood science exhibits should demonstrate a project experience, which emphasizes the development of woodworking skills such as: sawing, sanding, planning, alignment of joints, neat use of fasteners (nails, screws, etc.), and careful application of finishes. Judging will focus on the evidence of these skills.
- These exhibits will consist of articles made by 4-H Club members the past year. The project is not limited to current project idea sheets. It must be proportional and functional and include the same techniques as the listed classes.
- Miscellaneous and refinished class items should be similar in size to the exhibits in the classes listed for the grade division. 4-H member can enter only one exhibit per class and is restricted to exhibits designed for his or her grade group.
- A county may enter one (1) exhibit in each class. Wood Science exhibits should be permanently signed and dated in an inconspicuous location. If not marked, judge may mark.
