Bring eclectic woodworking to the people. (Editors Win Turf War).

After months of backstage bickering, the Wood & Wood Products editorial staff wrestled control of this page. long a bastion of classified advertising, away from the advertising staff.

Months of bad blood between the two factions culminated in the Industrial Strength Cage Match, a tag-team bout pitting the editorial duo of T-Glue Manfrey and jimmy "Routerboy" Stephanopolopolous versus the advertising sales team of "Hard Maple" Hector Nelson and Blade DeFoe.

The editors ultimately won the bout when T-Glue distracted the referee with a perfectly formed miter joint while Routerboy smashed a conveniently positioned 2-by-4, made of ipe. across the back of Hard Maple's neck (See page 35 to learn exactly how badly this hurt.) Routerboy then subdued and pinned Blade by using the 'half-melamine press" maneuver.

After the match. T-Clue proudly hefted a blank page for all to see. "We're not sure exactly what we're going to do with it yet. but it'll be one exciting ride!" he declared. "But Hard Maple and Blade, if you're listening: Come near this page and we'll coat you in a fast-curing super-hard polyester topcoat!"

Wood Wrestling Federation Commissioner H-Dog Anderson applauded the editors' willingness to 'go to the mat" to bring the unusual, amusing and absurd from the world of woodworking to their readers. "I am confident that the Eclectic Woodworking Posse will serve the people like no group of wrestling editors ever has." he said.

The entire bout will be broadcast on pay-per-view on Feb. 9.
