wow…I may have a chance—-but I know the Magician will pull brilliance out of the hat!!! Gary…you are my hero…good luck…cant wiat to see what you come up with…

-- Matt, Napa, CA...SING WITH ME: Ugh...August has arrived...

I would say that since the wood was not designed to be furniture, they considered it “junk” so go for it!

-- Eric at http://adventuresinwoodworking.com

You have my support. Doit.

I can’t wait to see what you are conjuring up.

-- Scott - Chico California http://chicowoodnut.home.comcast.net

Looks like re-recycled to me…

Yes, I’m looking forward to the magic too.

Your recycling it from a pallet, so I would say its recycled wood. Good luck!!

To me it qualifies. Since it is from a pallet it probably would have been tossed in the dumpster or converted into btus. Go for it!!!!!

By the way I wondered what was going on with you. I just assumed that you were on either tied up on something around the house or on vacation. I am sure you enjoyed yourself. Glad to have you back.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

Gary, I never thought I’d say this about one of your posts, but… “This is pure junk!”

Glad you’re back and had a safe trip.

-- Martin, Kansas

Works for me. Have at it.

-- Bruce from Central New York

Ditto to the other responses. Welcome home from Europe!

Yes to the junk….......

I’m really interested to know what you see in that “scrap” .... Maybe a baby grand piano or something?.. :-)

-- Brian's Table Top Toys http://home.mountaincable.net/~bgraham/

Hope you enjoyed your trip Gary. My wife tells me we are going over there too.
Now, surprise me as usual. <g>

Gary,

It sure looks like scrap to me too – I am sure are already busy with the project. Good luck!

-- Al Navas, St Joseph, MO, http://sandal-woodsblog.com

The wood qualifies, Gary…no doubt about that.

I’m sorry you didn’t read the fine print of the contest rules, though. It clearly states that any Texas resident who has traveled to Europe in the last 6 months is not eligible to enter. Oh well, maybe next time. :-)

That looks like recycled stuff to me… I can’t wait to see what you make…

Looks like you are doing it….... you will be wearing a new LJ t-shirt in a month or so…..I thought I had a chance untill you showed up with this pallet wood, ”!@#$%^&”

Hi Gary;

Welcome back.

I’m certain you’ll come up with something spectacular.

Hey guy welcome back …your absence was noticed and I for one, was afraid you or a family member was ill or had been involved in a tragedy of some sort…..or that you had decided that LJ’s took up to much of your time. THAT would have been a real tragedy. where would we be without one of our great mentors. As far as the wood goes you didn’t even half to ask and you know that. WELCOME back on line, you most certainly were missed.

The pallet sure qualifies! I’ve recycling pallets from work for quite a while now and it is amazing what they make pallets out of; red oak, white oak, cyprus and a few that I swear are mahogany.

Now, if I had known that all I ahd to do was sit on some “good” wod and break it to qualify for the contest…

I don’t think it’s going to be junk for long.

-- Dick Cain, Hibbing, MN. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.com/gallery/member.php?uid=3627&protype=1

what kind of wood? I can Identify two of them – “broken”.

I’m sure you’ll make something utterly gorgeous with them. I haven’t started yet either, if we’d known you’ve been handicapped for time, we all might have been motivated to start when Martin fired the starting gun.

Looks like it qualifies for the contest. Am really glad that dowel didn’t ummmmm pierce anything when you sat on it!

-- Betsy - GO BUCKS!

Welcome back Gary. I think you have a concensus.

-- Jack - Mission Viejo, Calif

Gary, I vote recycled.

Looks like Apitong to me, that stuff is extremely hard! It is mostly used on flatbed trailers in the 18 wheeler variety. Make sure you don’t ruin a good WW2 blade on it!!

-- Matt, Houston Texas

I think you have agreement that this qualifies … the big question is what have you got in mind for it?

-- When you give someone a chance it may well be their last.

something amazing is about to happen . . . . . ;)

-- Paul, Texas

Paul – LOL

Nothing amazing but practical. That is if I get the chance to make it.
