Yep, Ol' Frank just loves that acrylic!!! [}

Ya just gotta love Texans. [

Johnny sent me a great care package of blanks. There were five of his acrylic pinks and some beautiful wood. I guess he didn't want me to go into a wood-withdrawal shock by making the switch to abruptly. [

Can't figure why he would send me all this beautiful freebie stuff. Guess it's like trying to make someone a religious convert. [:0] Seriously, it is fine looking stuff and I am very appreciative of Johnny doing this for me. I have two sets of blanks ready for turning, plus another of Eagles creative laminations and a knock-out spalted burl ready to go. Yesterday my Baron pin chuck came from Fangar. After experimenting, I'll make a closed end Baron from the beautiful burl blank Johnny included in the care package. Better stop typing and start turning. Pictures will be posted, assuming Murphy doesn't strike. Also, I'll give a little run-down on my experience turning Johnny's non-wood blanks.
