I know the contest is over, but I just wanted to reply to someone that said they thought it took me three days to make this. It actually took me four hours to build this. I have built tons of different pieces. This must be what I was put here to do!

Thanks for telling me about it getting around! Yee ha!!

That's great! I love that you kept the pocket, very cool!! And love the baby too!

You did a fabulous job! Very impressive!

I am so excited that you guys like my bench! I can't tell you how much it means to me.
I was looking at the past Challenges Archives and I am amazed at how talented you all are! What impressive artists are on this site!

You guys did a great job!

Holy cow!! Soon I'll be famous and rich! LOL (or not)

Great job! That is hilarious!!

Okay, I tried to modify my original post to include more info, but obviously that did not work, so....
The front of this bench, underneath the seat has short pieces that I cut and attached. They are more pieces of the head board that I used for the back rest, picture frames, door moldings, shutter frames and broom sticks.
I have never taken an art class or any wood building classes.
I have been building pieces like this for around 2- 2 !/2 years.

Great job Wendygail!! (PS you inspire me too! )
