2, 14, 15 Nice color choices, straight lines, and tight packing.

Oh yeah - But to make it clear I would be happy to have any one of them. They all made it a hard choice to pick out the top 3.

Ron, there are a few guys who entered their first wrap as part of this contest, one of them is 6th in the voting...number 22. I am hopin gto not scare people away, but show that there are a wide variety of skillevels doing this type of work and you don;t' have to do somethign crazy to do something that really pops and looks great. hopefully next time I do a contest you'll challenge yourself and participate...wha tdo oyu have to lose?

My top3 includes a 4th
#14, #16, #26, and the 4th is #5

While #5 doesn't have the complexity one would normally see in a "contest" I do applaud the contestant for their submission knowing what they were up against. After all, Billy's idea was to hopefully stir folks to "challenge" themselves to something new. Wasn't it?

Bravo Billy! SUCCESS!

Thanks Bill. Jo, hopefully it kicks you a kick in teh butt to give it a try!! i'm happy that builders of all skill levels stepped up for this. Once it "clicks" you realize that all these complex patterns are not difficult to do, but they are a bit time consuming.
