special event:

A contest was announced in the early spring of 2006 to be judged at the May meeting.
The object of the contest was to create something using a single "Home
Depot grade" pine two-by-four. The contest was judged by vote of all members present.
The contest was organized by Scott Wunder and Nathan Sincox who did a great job
of setting the rules and encouraging members to participate.
There were two prizes. First place and a $100 gift certificate from Wunder
Woods went to Vic Barr. Second place and a $50 gift certificate went to
Jim Birkenbach.

His project used most of a 2 x 4 and a deck of playing cards. |

Jim Birkenbach was unable to be present for the meeting,
so Scott Wunder showed Jim's prize-winning wooden cars. |

In case you can't recognize from the top of his head,
this is Jim Hoeller show off his "Trebuchet".
A trebuchet is similar to a catapult. |

Larry Alvarez made four nice boxes from his
two-by-four.
They were nicely finished despite their Home Depot origin.
