    Mike,
    You got my vote, but the other table is mighty good looking too!
    Good Luck!

    Mike, you've got my vote again. I'm always happy to help a fellow Ontarion (is that a word? anyways, I used to live in Ayr). Best wishes for the rest of the competition. I agree with the previous post, this is really stiff competition.

    Mike,
    I have you ahead of the other table but that chair may be hard to beat!


    At any rate, even if you take 3rd you have to figure out where to spend you $2K worth of Porter Cable tools. That and the bragging rights should be enough, right?

    Yes, I know you would like to win it all!

    I still think yours is the nicest design there. But even if you only come in third that would still be a great accomplishment (and the prize isn't too shabby either.)

    Like I said before, If it doesn't end up #1, they need their eyes checked!

    That's very stiff competition but you still got my vote.

    That's fantastic news Mike!! Congratulations. I must say that the competition is stiff, but I'm a sucker for contrast in the wood and practicality in furniture. The use of wood in contrasting colors appeals to me more than having wood that is all the same. For me, furniture has to be something that I could use in my home. On both of those aspects your table fit my criteria better than the other two. In addition to that I found it superior in design. Your description helped me to see and understand what you did to make a design that is pleasing to my eyes. Fantastic job. No matter what happens, you are already a winner.
