Instructions:

  • Please remember to visit the How This Works and Rules section of this site before submitting an answer.
  • Good Luck!

Additional Info and Rules:
  • Contest for Puzzle 04 is halted.  Watch blog section for details.
  • 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.
  • Although this is part of the Prize Pool, it will only be shipped to an address within the Continental U.S.  So,
    just the Prize Pool money will be sent to the winner if they are outside of this area.
  • Oh, yeah, you are not eligible if you have won a prize in the past.  Sorry about that.

Hints So Far:
Hint #1 (Posted 121607 0948EST): The brass tacks are there for a reason.
Hint #2 [Posted 012808 1830EST] : The words and designs on the corks don't mean anything... they are just
decorative.
Hint #3 [Posted 031008 1912EST]: The message contains the word "wine".
