This video by Jim Woodring has been declared a winner in a contest held by Boing Boing — to divulge the nature of the contest would spoil the video, so watch it first and then click over to find out about the contest. Looks like there was a pretty sweet prize too — congrats Jim!
And over at his Woodring Monitor blog Jim shows off a small "home use" handle for his in-progress giant pen project, along with the "before" picture of the raw wood with the lathe pattern drawn on it.
