Congratulations all. Very nice designs and great sketchup work. I really liked Ryan’s design from the start since I’m partial to asian pieces. I can see myself building it or something very similar someday for my youngest daughter since she shares my taste. Great job Martin and PW…I’m going to have to start my subscription again.

I was mad at myself for not getting a design done for the contest but i know I wouldn’t have even come close. Very inspiring.

Charlie and Daniel you guys deserve a round of applause as well.

I am proud of each of you and every one who entered the contest is also a winner as well.

Thank to Martin and Popular Woodworking as well.

Congratulations Ryan, Daniel, and Charlie. Great work guys! Thanks to Martin and Popular Woodworking as well.

Well done fellows. I know that it had to be very hard for the judges to make that final decision. Kudos to all that entered.

Well isn’t this a great surprise! Thank you everyone for your congratulations, I appreciate it.
Thank you also to Martin and PWW for putting this whole thing together. I know the editorial process as a whole isn’t easy, but then factor in a contest? Not easy, that’s for sure!

Cheers everyone,

Great job everyone! I look forward to seeing the winning design in the magazine.

Good looking shelves everyone. These challenges do seem to pull the site together and raise some interest. Now its time to start cleaning out the shop. Those cameras catch everything.

Congratulations, Ryan!

I join others in looking forward to your building your bookcase. I saw some very nice Asian-influenced designs entered and I have to agree with PWW’s editors. Yours is the cream of the crop. I would want my wife to see this, too, as we have been slowly recycling the furniture out of our home. She might also like your desgn.

I also want to encourage Daniel and Charilie to build their projects – and maybe submit them to not only PWW but also AWW, FWW, WWJ, Wood, Woodsmith, etc.

I’ll do the same with my piano bookcase, although I’m sure that my wife will want something along Ryan’s design, as well as others.

Thanks so much to all the contestants for an inspiring gallery of ideas.

Finally found this site. I agree it should be available from the home page. C’est la vie.

Love the winning design, along with the two runners up. Kudos to all including the fine editors at PWW. I know we will all enjoy seeing this come together as a full-blown article in the magazine.
