And the winner is (drumroll please)…johntunger with his Recycled Steel Fire Pit!
The Great Bowl O Fire from john t unger on Vimeo.
I think this is such a cool item, and it’s great to see it’s a community favorite too. Look for this beach bonfire flaring up in the Eco-friendly Gift Guides, along with some of the other top favorites voted in (see these pictured in the related items below).
Thank you to all the Etsians who suggested eco-friendly items for this past vote. You can see all of the entries that were included here. It was so exciting to see the community come together and fill up the entire 60 item voter with your handpicked suggestions!
This week, you can vote on Jewelry picks for Mother’s Day gifts. VOTE HERE! Help us make those mamas even more gorgeous than they already are — not an easy feat. We love you, Mom, and we have the jewelry to prove it!
You can get involed in our next round too. Post in the comments with your suggestions for items from the Pets Category. Our animal friends want to see all that Etsy has to offer, so show us your favorites!

WOW. I'm so honored to have won. Thanks to everyone who voted for me! I just put up a brand new Fleur-de-Lis design for the firebowls that I'm really excited about and will also be adding a bunch of new items to my Etsy store today. I'm still working on the photos for the new stuff, but should have them up in the next few hours. They're really cool masks cut from shovels which can also be used to create a totem pole or as "tree faces." Thanks again for the votes and the really encouraging comments!

I love this firepit - my husband made himself a firepit (for personal use, not for sale ;) using an old truck wheel and some bricks, so when I saw this one I thought how cool to have the metalwork details on a recycled firepit. Great work!

Just added 26 new items, all made from recycled steel… be sure to take a look at Face of Spades masks, all hand-cut from reclaimed shovel blades. They make really cool totem poles if you hang a group of them on a post or tree.
