As a heads up, there are some plans for occasional "alternate" contests.
These might (<--- "might") include criteria such as "LPs", "Thinlines", "Bass Only", "Stratocasters", "Clear Finish", "Sunbursts".... and of course "Open/Freestyle".
It was the desire of those folks behind the scenes to get a few of the standard contests completed in the new format before trying out some of the alternates.
The March 2011 contest is for "Warmoth/Pro" finished axes. April is currently undecided, and much depends on how the March contest proceeds.
Thats about all that can be said - except - keep this thread going! The ideas are welcome. As always, no promises that any particular idea will be used, or used as originally presented.
Thanks to everyone, for making the contest a feature on the forum that is anticipated and participated by many.
