Osborne Supports Instagram Builder's Challenge

Osborne Company News

Toccoa, Georgia- May 25, 2017- Osborne Wood Products, Inc. had the pleasure of supporting the Instagram Builder’s Challenge for the second year in a row. This challenge is for hobbyist woodworkers across the United States. Former Marketing Assistant, Lane Taylor, from Osborne was asked to participate as a judge of the challenge along with five others- DIY Blogger Ana White, Chip Wade, and representatives from Spax USA and Dap Products.

The challenge ran from March 26th to April 16th. During the challenge, builders created a design based on certain specifications. Creators would post a picture of their final pieces on Instagram using the hashtags #IGBC3 and #IGbuilderschallenge3. After meeting these outlined specifications, the pieces were judged based on five criteria- beauty, function, craftsmanship, finish, and creativity. Aside from contributing with the judging of each completed project, Osborne Wood Products, Inc. also donated prizes to the three winners: Meghan Baker from Sweet Aloha Designs (grand prize winner), Stephanie Abbott from Abbotts at Home (second place), and Shawn Parsley from Industrial Vibe (third place).

Osborne loves to support DIYers, hobbyist, and those wishing to pursue their passion of woodworking. Marketing Assistant, Megan Monge, confirms this by saying, “We absolutely love being involved with our bloggers and seeing their projects. Being involved with the IG Builders Challenge was a privilege and an opportunity for Osborne Wood Products to help other DIYers.”
