After some furious LIKING on our Facebook page where all entries for Boxmaker 2014 are still displayed, Nathan Day was voted People's Choice Award Winner. At the time of tally (12 noon AEST July 2, 2014) Nathan's Fantales Box had received 216 votes! Nathan also won a prize and is featured in the current issue (83) of the magazine. In recognition of his award Nathan receives a Veritas Detail Rabbet Plane. Votes have continued to climb for many entries.
With such a contest on our hands we decided to award a prize to another frontrunner: Tom Taft's Hummingbird Box (176 votes at time of tally). Tom will receive an iGaging Digital Marking Gauge.
Congratulations to all winners and entrants! Entries may be viewed in the Boxmaker 2014 album on the Wood Review Facebook page.
