This truly was a fun contest and the first time that I have ever participated in anything like it. Sadly, my entry with the Birdhouse Benches came in last place of the 68 submissions for the One Man’s Junk category. But hey, how can it be considered a loss when they were up against such great entries! In fact, I’m now referring to them as the “Last Place Winner” of the Summer 2008 LumberJocks Woodworking Awards!
Just wait until next time… yeah… next time…
