You Guessed It — Gifts!

SOMETHING FOR ALL, PLUS A CALL FOR VOTES

here’s no need to sugarcoat it … we are in the homestretch when it comes to making gifts for the holidays. presents you with the world’s first “Honey Dipper Challenge.” Chris, Jeff, Nick and yours truly have each designed a honey dipper and a holder. The only way to determine which version is superior is to have our readers vote. You can see our efforts on page 47, then please visit to register your favorite design. We will randomly pull three email addresses from voters and award each person a woodworking prize. May the best design win!

Before I sign off, please accept our best wishes to you and yours for the upcoming gift-giving season — whichever holidays you may be celebrating.
