Nice one! I can see there will be few happy people checking out this thread (except me! :lol: )

Some thoughts...

• 1 entry per person
• Newly created works only (ie must be started and finished in the allowed month)
• At least 3 months between swaps, 6 monthly may be better
• Post a thread in both creating forums - I know crossposting is against the rules, but I think there are a quite a few creators who may not read the carving forum?

Anyway, I did get my old piece back, but I'm glad I didn't put it in (although it wasn't half as bad as I was expecting). I think a lot of the fun of this is the effort people put into to their pieces, especially when they see what the early birds are posting. I also think one entry per person keeps it fair - it would be too easy for someone to weight the draw in their favour, and multiple entries would dilute the quality.

I'll be up for another one in a couple/few months anyway, and if we're pitching themes I'll suggest vintage poly-pop menu covers. Plenty of scope style-wise and tons of good source material here and here.
