    Well done to everyone involved, all the entries came up well It continually surprises me what can be reaped from an ordinary shipping pallet.

    #3 – They are 2 very simple objects but you can just tell that the maker is a good woodworker. The work is clean and tidy.

    #5 – It must have driven you crazy cutting those pieces. It is interesting.

    #6 – it could potentially be a great piece but the workmanship isn’t quite there yet. The top is not flat and the joints aren’t accurate. You next one will be better.

    #8 – this stool looks well made. Well done to the maker.

    #10 – a great looking lamp and I would love to have one in my house.

    #12 – this person is very great wood carver. I am guessing that this one won’t get many votes here and it is very sad. Well done to the maker.
    How's about entries 2, 4, 7, 9 & 11

    Cheers,

    Will

    I agree with most of Wongo's evaluation...

    Thanks for your comments Wongo. (But you don't know which one. )

    I can't decide which one I like best. I'm really going to have to "tink" about it. I reckon everyone who finished deserves a mug .

    and if you charge them for the privilege that would be some of the work you're wanting

    If I had to choose just one, err I do I spose, then it would be entry 5. I could see that hanging in an art gallery or on my wall. The pallet paint really adds something to the design and reminds me of German lozenge camouflage or Aztec mosaics.

    I found that pretty special too Michael. Although hubby scratched his head about it a bit. I hope we get to see it finished and it doesnt spend the rest of its life in a cardboard box I loved the Carved mirror frame, and hope we get to see it with a mirror in it, and clearer pics of the carving would be nice too.

    I love #1, although the finish leaves something to be desired. It is just such a surprise. Just a pile of sticks put together. "what are they?" And then you see the shadow. Amazing.

    I can't seem to wrap my head around #1! Been thinking about it for two days, haha. Doesn't all quite add up to me...the correlation between the sticks & the shadow - but hey, maybe it's just my eyes

    It is inventive though, i'll give 'em that

    There are some talented and innovative workers in our midst, and this challenge has given them the opportunity to show that. Great idea and wonderful results! It will be increasingly difficult to walk past that cast-off pallet now...
    I gave my vote to one of the simpler, maybe more restrained pieces. Several of the others show more creativity, and others better design even, but I'm thinking more of which I could live with in my own place, if that's not too bizarre as criteria!

    Well done all.

    I gave my vote to a piece that was well made and the design was limitted by the materials allowed in this challenge. To me it is not good to find a big pallet and turn a little pen out of it. That is not a challenge.
