Segmented Pen Contest Voting - Poll #1

[mark james]

There are 18 entries, so the top Five pens will advance to a second round of voting. Please do not vote until all 18 entries have been downloaded.

Vote for your top three choices.

NOTE: Just a subtle reminder, this is not a photography contest. While some photographs are amazing in and of themselves, vote for the merits of the blanks.

To all the entrants - WELL DONE!!!

Thanks for the assist Jeff!

Now everyone can vote for their top three. Voting was reset, so the initial 6 folks can vote again I believe.

Some very nice work and great photos.

It was hard but I believe that I found three EXCELENT examples of the craft.

They all are winners in my book.

 

[mark james]

The top three votes are close, so every vote is important.

Second place is a dead heat: 35-24-24 for votes so far. Make your opinion count.

 

[Master Geppetto]

Wow, there are a lot of first place pens in there! It's hard to have an opinion!

I suspect you could have entered a very successful pen Stephen. I hope all is well, and say hi to your Bro!

Very nice work by all, thanks Mark for putting this together.

I tried hard, but still missed posting one entry. All is fine, we chatted, but I'll make a separate thread for that one. Life was complicated last week, but no excuse.

What a variety of techniques. Hard to compare, all are very good and some are even gooder!;0

 

[Aces-High]

Totally forgot about this...sorry Mark.

#1 and #2 have a bit of a lead, but #3,#4 and #5 are each separated by ONE vote.

Let's support those who made the effort to be creative, push their limits and enter - cast you votes.

 

[mark james]

I'm out until later today, but as of now, 4 votes separate #3-4-5-6. (31, 31, 29, 27).

Very close for which will get the fifth spot to go to the final voting.

 

[mark james]

A bump since every vote is important - Still tight for #3-4-5 to go to the next round.

 

[mark james]

Good Morning BASH followers.

One day left to have your choices counted.

After 129 people voting and 372 total votes cast, the fourth and fifth spots are separated by 4 votes between three pens - two of the three will move on.

 

[mark james]

About 23 hours left to vote.

A bit of space is showing with 4 votes separating #5 and #6. 138 folks have voted.

 

[mark james]

1/2 Day left

The first round will close later this afternoon.

As of now, there is a 4 vote difference between the 5'th and 6'th places.

 

[mark james]

The first round of voting is completed.

Well done to EVERY entrant!

Being willing to push your boundaries,
aiming for a well matched pairing of materials and components,
or perfecting a design that has been waiting for your time and attention -
this is what matters,
and each of you rose to the challenge and
didn't sit on the sidelines.

Congratulations especially to the artists of pens:

#2, #3, #5, #11 and #14

as you will now advance to the final round of voting.

(I'll get it posted in a few hrs).
