2 x 4 Challenge

[don in brooklin on]

Our club runs a 2 x 4 challenge every once and a while.  You have to start with a standard 2 x 4 (3 1/2" x 1 1/2" x 8 feet ).  There is a special award for using a SPF stud.

These are my 2 entries for this year both out of an SPF stud from HD.  I got a third for the Gnome.

The Gnome is on a swing with a bird house in the back. Acrylic paint with an exterior urethane. The beard is a mixture of paint and drywall finish.

The cat has a plastic insert for the flowers.  Design was inspired by a dog Jesse did.

I just cut an pasted off the zoom recording.

Fist was the Christmas tree.  Cool that it folded back flat.

Second was the truck and cars.

You should have gotten first!  Yours is an original design!!!  I have seen patterns for the other two.

[Scrappile]

Yep, you need to protest, tell them we are upset because you showed originality!  Tell them it will put fear in them for sure.  See what won, I still think yours were best!

Love it!!

You should have gotten a first for the gnome.  Love it.  Cats not bad either.
