Hey all, While looking at all the neat jenga challenge pics and post I saw the 2x4 challenge mentioned a couple of times . Was that something I missed, I m new to board, but anything different sounds fun. Can anybody fill me in here?

2 X 4 Challenge?

Simple--carve something out of a piece of an ordinary construction 2x4 about 12" long.

Have fun!

Once my wrist allows me to get back to carving, I'll be finishing up a creeping wolf in NW coast style. Mostly done, just got a lot of sanding and detailing left.

Hey Steve,

The link Just Carving posted tells the story, forgot about that challenge. Some nice efforts on there. Are you going to give it a try?

The challenge is just an exercise to demonstrate that you don't need a bunch of fancy or exotic woods to carve something, the every-day, common, household, variety 2 X 4 will work just fine. Better woods work better, but it's the carver that counts.
