Copyright: All entries must be the original work of the student participant or student team. All ideas, text, images (photos), computer generated, video and/or other), and sounds from other sources must be cited, including anything that is from the public domain. References and resources are to be cited using MLA (Modern Language Association) style, the most current edition. If copyrighted material is used, proper written permission must be included. Failure to follow this procedure will automatically result in disqualification of the students (all projects) and may potentially disqualify the entire chapter from the Texas TSA State Competition.
Wood Category
Items in this category involve student created projects in which students used traditional and modern woodworking tools, methods, and techniques to create projects. 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.
Judging criteria for production will be based on the following areas: degree of difficulty, appearance, finish, and craftsmanship.
Minimum Required Documentation
Manufacturing - Woods
One board foot (b.f.) is defined as a piece of wood 12" x 12" x 1" in size, or 144 cubic inches of wood. All board feet calculations are as displayed. Calculate the total volume of wood in the project based upon cubic inches and divide by 144 to get board feet in the project.
