I must say that I am surprised and humbled, seriously. I want to thank all of those people that voted for my two projects, and participating in the competition. Eventhough some of us won prizes, all of us are winners for such a well run contest with such great projects.

Thanks Martin for putting this whole concept together,
Mark

I believe that congratulations are in order of all who entered the contest, all were winning worthy projects and a special congratulations for the winners. It was exciting to be in the contest and to see the winners. I would also like to thank Martin for the T-shirt that I won.

Congratulations to all the winners. It was amazing at the quality and creativity of all the works involved. It was difficult to choose one particular entry over another.

Looks like I have to step up my game if I want to compete next year.

-- Bill, Turlock California, http://www.brookswoodworks.com

Congratulations, first and foremost, to Martin for a job well done. And to the winners, PHBBBBBBTTT! ;) Great job everyone.

-- David, Central Ohio

Well Bill… you’re up to the CHALLENGE, now, aren’t you??? :) :)

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

Congratulations to all! There was plenty of fantastic work to pick from. I was sure we’d have a 47 way tie for first place!

So Martin… about the top ten…. (I think I want to know how I placed creativity-wise. I know my box left a lot to be desired as far as craftsmanship goes… (I’ve come a long way in the few years since I made it)... but I need to know how much to step up the game to have a fighting chance. (now that all these projects are disqualified from future contests, I just might.)...

If you look in the ring for the next contest, you’ll see Debbie’s hat (stylish one that it is), mine’s underneath it (a dingy denim ballcap I got at the Hard Rock Cafe in Paris, Easter Sunday 1998)

uh oh.. I can feel the weight of the competition already…

-- "Functional WoodArt" by Debbie, Canada (http://www.execulink.com/~yohan)

I just saw that the craftsmanship was 59 points for Mark and 58 points for Marc … I’m suprised there hasn’t been a call for a recount.

First off I want to thank Martin for making this great contest even possible. I also want to thank everyone for the quality of projects that were submitted. Everyone that took part in this contest has set the bar just a little higher and for that many thanks. A special thank you for all of those that voted for my, The Shroud, linen and cross.

-- " All Things At First Appear Difficult"

well deserved Rog… people just don’t believe at first (second or third) glance that The Shroud is all wood. Amazing.

Congratulations to the winners and everyone that entered the Winter 2007 contest. Awesome entries. Can not wait to see entries for the Spring contest. Thanks to Martin for all his hard work.

Winter 2007 has brought out the best from the L.J.’s, congratulations to all winners, you’ve raised the bar and will have to do better for the subsequent competitions.

The success of this competition can be attributed to Martin whose ambition for the Forum inspires us ordinary people to aspire to do better! Well done Martin!

THANK YOU ALL for such a positive feedback! It was quite difficult to prepare everything on time but now I’m happy and grinning ear to ear, as Debbie said ;)

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com

Hey shirt winners, let us know whether you like the shirt or not (I’m getting notifications that the orders have been delivered). I’m sure that each LumberJock would love to see some photos as well ;)

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com

Martin,

Got my Lumberjock T-shirt the other day that I won, I really like it. Don’t know about the photo’s though, not to photogenic…...

-- Max "Desperado", Salt Lake City, UT

No problem, Max.. I’m happy you like it ;)

-- Martin, http://lumberjocks.com

With all the great entry’s this year, I feel the performance pressure as well. But, I will enter mainly to get feedback from everyone on my work.

When are the next awards scheduled? I better start building something now.

Congrats to all the Winners, the Runner-ups and to all who entered…
