Who Doesn’t<\/em> Admire a Handcrafted Wood Table?<\/h2>\n

Here’s a project idea that you’ll enjoy planning, creating and adding to your home. Smaller than a coffee table, an accent table or stand is just the sort of thing that helps make a room pop with art, delicacy and function. It’ll help make your home your<\/em> home, not a place that can be replicated by anyone prancing through IKEA or Crate & Barrel with a Visa card.<\/p>\n

For this contest, make a small accent table or stand.<\/p>\n

Here’s the rub: it’s gotta be small<\/em>. Any height is fine, but maximum<\/em> width or length is 20″.<\/p>\n

Smaller is better.<\/p>\n

Want some inspiration? By all means, please check out the gallery at the bottom.<\/p>\n

      Frequently Asked Questions & Details<\/h2>\n<\/blockquote>\n

      Maximum Width or Length is 20″<\/h4>\n

      We’re looking for small tables, plant stands or lamp stands.
      \nThere is no height<\/em> restriction. Make it as tall as you want it to be.<\/p>\n

      Let your creativity go wild, but remember this is a wood<\/em>working show. You are welcome to include materials other than wood in your project, however your primary goal should be to demonstrate your enthusiasm for wood more than, say, stone or steel.<\/p>\n

      How Is The Contest Judged?<\/h4>\n

      This is a public vote system. We don’t have a team of critics. This contest is more or less for fun, so we simply gather votes from anyone who comes to view the projects. That also means we encourage you to invite your friends and family to come down to browse the projects and log a vote.<\/p>\n

      How Do I Win?<\/h4>\n

      Historically, the projects that win prizes are very creative or include dazzling details<\/em>.  Take a look at our past contests to get a feel for what wins:<\/p>\n
