G'day peoples,
This will be the last Mr A. game for 2015, lots more to come in 2016...!
The subject of my question today, is all about a particular species of "wood" I have in my timbers list, and also one that had produced blanks that have become quite famous through the years, such as the Palm root Resifills.
I'm talking about the #31 Palm species that, you would know, there are many subspecies, some that produce "fruit", others that don't. Let's just say that, a couple of months ago, I have decided to make a few NEW blanks for the world of e-cig mods (vaping) and that, I may endup doing some as pen blanks but that, will be later.
The reason for looking for new materials was due to the fact that, I have a considerable demand for those Palm root Resifills in the e-cig mod sizes, I have made about 60 using the last palm root I had and since, people are going crazy about them but, I don't have any left and my searching for some more as declined, since I stopped looking and cutting trees, I do however, have a few requests with a couple of the be big tree people, around this area and, they know exactly what I'm after, in case if they come across any Palms of the correct species that produce this type root "skirt".
So, I needed something that could resemble the Palm root I use, I don't think that, is nothing out there that can be identical but, I was happy to find something that could offer some resemblance.
I have found lots of new materials but, the ones part of this game are all materials (3) that come from certain species of Palm trees. Only one did satisfy me as a Palm root replacement for now, the other 2 materials, one is almost as hard as cement when stabilised and the other, well...! it may need some extra work to make itmore attractive.
I will be showing one blank of each material/type, all coming from the same tree and the questions are the following;
*1- What Palm tree species, have these 3 products/materials come from..??
*2- Identify the material on blank 1 (one)..?
*3- Identify the material on blank 2 (two)..?
*4- Identify the material on blank 3 (three)..?
Winner needs to answer all 4 questions (any order)
Winner get a AU$100.00 prize value of pen blanks from my stables.
Winner is requested to pay AU$29.00 shipping for 1.5kg weight parcel.
So folks, lets see who comes up first, with the correct answers...!
Best of luck.
Cheers
George
