crates and particlewood.

Problems and Solutions

At first I had a hard time moving my objects around in the layout because they were all on seperate layers, I solved this by pasting everything into one layer for each object. There was also some trouble with the lighting and shadows.  Just fiddling with the options until I got my desired effect seemed to work.
Time Frame

It is hard to say how much time was spent on each object or texture.  All together I would say though that the lighting and rendering process of moving cameras and lights to where your render looks good is one of the most time consuming elements.
