We just had a chapter meeting of the Oklahoma Chapter and Martin Beauford (mhbeauford) was very generous and brought a supply of wood for the members to take home. What was left he asked me to do as I see fit. I cut most into blank size and packed 7 small flat rate boxes. These will be given away to the first seven NEW MEMBERS who have not been turning over 3 months. Classic Nib will pay all shipping and a big thanks to Martin for suppling the wood. These will be great to practice your turning skills. List here if you want a box and I'll PM you for your address.

All seven of my boxes are gone and mailed. Jon Piper (GoodTurns) added 2 more boxes and they are spoken for. Mark Fitlin (fitty) has just added 4 more boxes.
So we have 4 more newbees that can have some ...as Alan Iverson would say practice time.:biggrin:

free blanks

When I first started turning there were a few friends who gave me blanks, wood, even some pr. to turn. Thats one thing I like about this hobby. Thanks for helping out these guys. Happy turning, Ted:)

Just got a PM from Mark Fitlin (fitty) who has added 4 more boxes, so once again members stepped up and helped each other. If you want one of Marks boxes post here and I will send you a PM asking for your address and forward it to Mark.

Robert, I got your PM and your free box is coming from Jon Pipper (GoodTurns) so be sure to thank him, he's an grouch if you don't but age will do that to some....
Update
Well I just heard from Jon and his PO is closed as they have no power and don't know when it will be back up also the street lights are all off, these storms sure have wrecked havock across the country.
Robert you box will now be shipped by Mark Fitlin (Fitty) .

Thank you for your (and the others involved) generosity!

I would love some blanks and will put a few of them towards a few ServicePens I hope to make in the near future.

Kudos to all of you! Gestures like this are what make the IAP the awesome place it is.

Hopefully some of these newbies will post their results in SOYP's.
