Title: Commonwealth Games 2014
Post by: John D Smith on July 24, 2014, 08:50:26 PM

      Hi everyone I have a challenge I am sure someone will come up with the answer. Every winner of a Medal in the Games also gets presented with a

gift It is a Quaich it looks like it is turned from a Burr it looks beautiful it was designed by Paul Hodgkiss the challenge is Who Turned These ?  ???

                                         Regards John
  
I have also been admiring the Podium's the Medal winners stand on I have found out these were all made from trees fallen in Glasgow the gold podium

is made from Elm and the Silver & Bronze from Sycamore 96 in total were made

Interesting about the podiums, I will have to watch for those.
No idea who made the quaich but at least google showed me what it was  :)

Possibly Robin Wood? He does these and is possibly the most likely candidate.

Very classy. I wonder what they will get used for after the games.
