Well crapola!!! My name gets drawn and I'm busy watching a football game. Looks like I am going to have to drive to Michigan and break some knee caps at the mail box. Better watch out Todd. Never know whats around the corner.

You may have to deal with my wife on that one. Just remember, she's a Wolverine! Well, at least for a while!

I recieved the box Saturday and after seeing what was in it I figured to put some of my bowling ball pieces blanks in it so off I went to pour them. I wanted to add 5 x 7/8 blanks but the resin gods messed up and all the pieces decided to float so I am going to pour a new batch today with more pieces and get the box out to Rounder in a couple days if you don't mind otherwise I have some shorter ones that would be great for single barrel pens or put 2 of them together for a 2 part pen. Let me know ok and I can post pics of both of them. I added pics below for some of the blanks and what the pens look like.
THe pic with 4 are the shorter one barrel blanks which are long enough for an Electra type an the others are the ones from yesterdays pour.

Hi Seer,
I would love for you to send the box to me, BUT, I wasn't the first to respond. TTalsma was first and it needs to go to him.:eek::frown: I will have to fairly wait my turn as I don't expect I want to go to Michigan just to get chewed up and spit out by a Wolverine, LOL. If it was just Todd, I might chance it, but he says he is going to sic the wife on me and that is DANGEROUS!!! My turn will come.

In the mail today USPS 03100480000228436489 and of course pictures. I took out 5 and put in 6 hope they are well recieved. The bowling ball pieces blanks require a light touch and charp tools. Also keep your thin CA handy as I have had blow outs on them as well but they do make a very interesting pen.
