Pretty Wood Pen Voting: Round 1

[Brian G]

We have 40 entries in this year's Pretty Wood Pen contest. There will be three rounds of voting. The first round will reduce the field to the top 20 vote recipients. The second round will reduce the field to the top 10 vote recipients that advanced from the first round. The third round will select the final three.

Please help select the prettiest of the Pretty Wood Pens.

The prizes are:

First Place - Sterling Silver pen kit $100 from Silver Pen Parts
Second Place - A gift certificate for $50 from Robutacion / Georges Bits of Timber
Third Place - A laser blank and pen kit from Kallenshaan Woods $40

All entrants that did not make the final three are eligible to win by random draw:

A genuine Lou Metcalf Pretty Wood Pen donated by an anonymous donor
A BOB donated by Edgar, which is more than likely to contain some pretty wood.
A $25.00 Gift Certificate from Signature Pen Supply.
