I just had a look back over this months entries.

I am glad I am not a judge this month, the field is pretty outstanding.

Good luck all. I was going to name my favourite.. but I honestly cannot pick one right now.

Thank Shazz, a lot of hard work has gone into all of this months builds, and that purple on yours looks brilliant. Is that a Pitbull stain?

Sure has!
Nah it’s not, the Black is a brand called RIT and the purple is a brand called folkart. They’re both fabric dyes by trade but work great on timber!

Havn't been looking or posting lately, but this month is such a wide variety of builds. Good luck to everyone, awsome efforts. Think I have my favourite at the moment.

Nice one Guvna, like what you did there with the name.
