The bead board came from a 120 year old house that was under renovation. So I loaded up my truck with crusty, old wood until it was popping out the sunroof.

OVERALL AWARD.

I was commissioned to create trophies for the employees of a Construction Company that specializes in Historic Restoration. They will be handed out at the company Christmas party in December. The awards will be given to employees for overall performance, dedication to the company and reuse/recycling of existing building elements.
So in keeping with the reuse theme the trophies have been created with abandoned, construction related objects, which are still full of potential.
Note: Components are secured from the backside with either epoxy cement or screws. This method hides connections and gives a finished appearance. Each award can be wall hung or placed on a desk top, etc.

What a wonderful way to reward a craftsperson - they're all so unique and full of a restorer's spirit!
Thanks for sharing!

Hope this puts you on map!

I just noticed that little pencil in the 1st Place Award.
Couldn't let that go. Would go in the box with the thousand others.
Jim, you WIN FIRST PLACE!
The "old school" spirits are in their Glory!
Keep it up!
Dennis Posted: 5:53 am on October 27th
Is the "desire" to KEEP. Like how can you let those old brushes go? Or even that old hammer? That's a Tough One There!
The rest of the items.... oh well, they can go!
Many times I've thought about incorporating my brushes or old hammers/wrenches etc., into pieces for sale, but..... I just can't do it.
Anyway, just wanted to add my rusty 6 penny nail to the board, and let you know, GREAT ART! You have the "old school" spirits in you.

What a job you did and will make some people happy. I take interest in this because I was brought up on the farm so this was interesting to me. Great job Jim. Very well done. GOD BLESS, ROBERT. Posted: 1:55 am on October 27th
Jim, please hold a contest so I can try for one too. This is sooooo fun and inspirational! A junk award... my mind is a blur right now. A caffeine high if you will.
Another brilliant JA scheme. Done just the way I like it.
