Ok, "scientifically" I calculate it will be 18 May 2013. (Opening day of the 2013 AABC Conference).
Bonsai was meant to keep me away from the computer.

Thank you Steven for organising this competition. Also, a very big "thank you" to Paul W for donating this useful, practical prize. I enlarged the photo of the wire holder and WOW! what a lot of detailed work has gone into it.
I especially like the joins at the corners and how the wire spools can be lifted out. Well done, Paul and thanks again. I'm sure that there are others on this forum who might like to buy one from you in the near future if they are
for sale.

My guess is 1st November, 2013. Good luck everyone.

Hi there Josh.
You won`t have to buy one you are going to win it. :fc:

Yes I am going to make some,but have to get the production time down as I have spent many hours making it and I could not charge enough for them,probably work for 50 cents an hour at the moment.
I am going to make various quality ones,with not so much detail in the corners,maybe ones that can be sent out as a flat pack and screwed together after staining,still working on the final details and prices to make it a little worth my while as at the moment they are a labour of love,will keep you posted when I get some more made in various styles and colors of staines and work out a reasonable price that people will pay ,plus postage if necessary.

Common every body, I want to give Steven as much work and time counting the dates as it took me to make it,he is not going to get off this light. :lol: There is plenty of time left and dates to guess. :fc:
