PRPrincess insists

[ed4copies]

that I post this:

She is particularly interested in challenging Mr. Skiprat to identify the material(s) she cast to create the blank.

GOOD LUCK, SKIPPY!!!!

 

[DozerMite]

Salt or possibly sugar??

 

[thewishman]

That's Tang - the pen of astronauts!

Chris

 

[johncrane]

leftover turnings from a resin, that's a tough one ED! []

 

[arioux]

ground corn?

well we are a bunch of Skiprat here [}]

Alfred

 

[Fred]

Toasted sawdust ... well, I'm just trying to out guess Skiprat. I see he is holding back - maybe he is looking at our posts first to see what we all guess. [}]

 

[airrat]

I am going to say its Sugar, the brown sugar you can get in the packets to put in tea, not the cooking stuff.

 

[GaryMGg]

Ground glass for those who like to chew on their pens?!? [][}]

 

[IPD_Mrs]

OK, I'll give a guess.....
Ed if you have been bad and Dawn got even then I would have to say a pound of your flesh. [}]

Other than that since it is Skiprat that was challenged, maybe it is tea???

 

[DCBluesman]

Farina?

 

[stevers]

Looks like it could be Sea Salt.

 

[skiprat]

Uh Oh!!!! I'm in trouble here.[8D] One more Frozen Orange Juice?.....Last Tango in Paris? Could this be the mysterious Dichroic?[}][8D]

I really like MLKwoodworking's guess though.[]
Ed, time zones Ole Buddy!!!! It's 5am here now, even rats have to sleep.

 

[Darley]

Semolina or corn meal..........just guessing.[]

 

[Ligget]

I guess SAND![]

 

[el_d]

Freeze dried lucky charm marshmellows...... Pots of golden rainbows...

 

[Mudder]

Glass dust?

Sorry misread, I would give a second though.

Green Split Peas and Rice.[][]

Dawn you going to have new recipies to try for exclusive pen blanks[]

 

[Radman]

kitty litter?
[8D]

 

[Firefyter-emt]

dyed grits?

 

[gerryr]

Spam and chitlins.

 

[ed4copies]

I hate to stop the guesses!!!

She is developing new products as we read!!!!

However, I will add that the product is very common on the British Isles, Dawn lived in Ireland for some time as a wee lass!!!

 

[Darley]

About a bowl of Porridge[][] yumm, ho sorry I mean OATS

 

[ed4copies]

Regarding selling these blanks, we are considering that possibility, she has made a number of interesting blanks that I have turned and sold a few.

Problem is, this type of blank has LOTS of voids. As you turn, some of the "material" comes out in chunks. This one is NOT salt, but I have done several that are - salt REACTS with CA!!! HOT takes on a new meaning!!!!! So, I don't want to mislead anyone that this is easy, it is time consuming and the results are cool, sometimes, but not always.

If there is interest in the blanks, post here or send PM, there are a couple she could make (and she just got some PR again). So, let us know, we could make some cool stuff available if you have the patience to play with it.[][][]

 

[skiprat]

Well, second guess.[] Barley and Hops????? If it's not that then you have indeed Stumped Skip[]

 

[ed4copies]

Well, Skippy,

Consider yourself momentarily stumped!!

The princess is willing to give you a clue: It is highly likely to have been present (in the building) at your recent UKIAP get-together!!!

 

[IPD_Mrs]

Potatoes!

WRONG, either way, I just wondered!![][]

 

[skiprat]

Crushed Peanuts or Crisps? Cockroaches? Grass thatch? I honestly don't have a clue[:I] Any UK guys have any idea?

 

[Mudder]

Grits?

Picked a high-caliber place, did we???

One of the Brits may want to send this to the proprietor so he knows about the good, world-wide reputation Mr. Skiprat is giving him!!!![][][][]

 

[IPD_Mrs]

Fish & Chips?

If so that will smell real bad when turned....

Mmmm, how would you pronounce "y'all" with a British accent, Scott?

[skiprat]

The calibre[] of the fine establishment was not in question, I was just trying to read your mind and think of the places that you may frequent. [}]



Scott, you guys eat GRIT???????[:0][?]



Dawn, another clue please[)]

I ate dirt until I was 21........And I was THANKFUL for it! (a line from Bill Cosby)

 

[Blind_Squirrel]

Steel cut (a.k.a. Irish) oats.

 

[Chuck Key]

Corn Flakes?

 

[ed4copies]

The item(s) is (are)not native to the UK, but is (are) widely available.[][][][][][] (big, sweet smile for Skippy!!!)

 

[ed4copies]

Remember, Skippy, you thought it was easy for Dawn to identify all you guys. She only had to go to a half-dozen websites, search 31 pages of a thread on the IAP, etc.

All YOU have to do is conduct a complete inventory of every item at that "inn" and you are bound to find the answer!!!

AAAHHHHhhhh revenge is sweet when no one gets hurt!!![][][][]

 

[Ligget]

Sandstone is my second guess!

 

[ed4copies]

Mark,

If I was gonna turn sandstone, I would turn it, I wouldn't crunch it up first.[)][)]
