    Thanks to Frank and DJ for putting the whole show together.

    There is a lot of nice work in there,
    hard to imagine such tiny blocks of wood can become so elegant

    That was tough. What a bunch of talented people.
    A special mention for entry 12 who needs medication of some sort.
    Of course I'm brave, I'm afraid of NO man, and only a few women.

    Very very hard to say any is better than the other. the way you have jointed that bit of Radiata just sheer brilliance. Used a machine! My God who would have thought of that? Not me

    There was a lot there and so I voted for one of the many I liked. I didn't vote for the Hand Plane because I can make those myself. I guess I was most impressed by the stuff that I looked at and thought gosh how did he do that. I did really like the marking knife though. I have one just like it that came to me via a hardwood sale a couple of years ago.

    Voting is going to be so very difficult, I have a few preferences but, which one to choose???
    Box of hearts is close to my heart though
    I do not understand entry #12 at all.
    Wish there had been some comments included.

    Wow was that ever worth the wait! What a variety of ideas. Some beautiful work there, will have to look a few more times before I make my vote.

    Great stuff, interesting how an ordinary lump of nondescript timber is seen so differently by different eyes. So much talent here
    Special mention to entry #12 for thinking outside the square

    My vote went to the piece that spoke to my heart. And it was a tough choice. I don't know how to define Art, but this piece really resonated with me.

    Congratulations to all the entrants and thankyou for your effort. Pure magic.

    To the creator of #12. They simply don't understand you. In another few hundred years, our aesthetic appreciation will have evolved enough for the human mind to grasp the message you provided to us!
