Additional Info and Rules

• Contest for Puzzle 04 has resumed. Same Puzzle 04 as the Puzzle 04 from the RustyRedRock site.
• Like the quilt from Puzzle 03, this is one is an actual physical object. In this case it is a cork board made of 126 wine corks (recovered from the collections of friends and family), 75-year-old barnwood (recovered from a dilapidated corn-crib in central Virginia), and oak plyboard (recovered from Lowe’s). It measures 14″ across by 17″ long.
• I may decide to include this as part of the Prize Pool if I can build another one to replace it. The wife has become rather attached to it, you see, and it is currently hanging in the living room.

Hints:

• Hint #1 (Posted 2146 021210): The tacks are there for a reason.
• Hint #2 (Posted 2136 062410): The words and designs on the corks don't mean anything
• Hint #3 (Posted 2130 081610): The first letter is “W”.
