Paging Trey (I sent him a PM 5 days ago and he has not yet responded.)

No response from Trey. He hasn't been on the forum for almost a month. SteveG will be next. (After Ed)

Yippee - looking forward to it!
I'll gather up some nice goodies for it this weekend & give it a quick turnaround.

Ed,
If you just want to stuff the box by rolling up a few $100 bills and put a rubber band 'round 'em, I promise to use it to get some really nice pen turning stuff with the cash!
Then I can do the same with $1000 bills (same or better, ya know!)

Actually I was planning to keep everything in the box & refill it with a selection of Hawaiian pen blanks.

Look what showed up this morning!
An SFRB chock full of blanks & goodies stuffed inside an SFRE along with a few more blanks and all packed inside a FedEx box.
I haven't looked at it all real closely yet, but there is some mighty fine stuff in here. I'll lay it out tonight, and shoot a photo of the contents and what I want to keep. I'll repack it and have it ready to send on to SteveG tomorrow.
Hope you like the selection of Koa and Monkey Pod that I have for you Steve. I know you've never seen any of that before. :wink:

WOW...Koa n Monkey Pod. Never heard of nor have seen anything by that description!. I am waiting by the mail box.:biggrin:
. I am waiting by the mail box.:biggrin:
Package waiting for the mailman - it will be winging its way to Hawaii in a couple of hours. Tracking # is 9405903699300404337631
Here's some photos of what was in the box, what I kept & what I'm sending out.
The outgoing package is still an SFRB - it's just packed inside an FRE and stuffed with filler. My apologies, Steve - I really wanted to use a couple rolls of $100 bills for the filler, but the ATM at our corner C-store was on the fritz so I just used wood for the filler. Hope you won't be too disappointed - I think the value is still the same.
To whoever contributed the blank to the right of the Monkey Pod blank in the middle picture - I'd really like to know a little more about that blank and any precautions that I should take when drilling & turning it.

Edgar;
I put that one in the box. It is from Woodturningz. It is one of their Genesis blanks, but I don't remember exactly which one. No special warnings. I have several more if you are interested, maybe we could work out a trade?

Edgar, the Genesis blanks work fairly nicely. I only recently made my first one (an Eagle FP for myself). I believe it is inlace acrylester (very chippy) with almost a paper/cardboard type material in it.
Thanks for the info on the Genesis blank guys. I'll give it a try soon - it certainly looks interesting.
Mark - it probably is time for us to work another trade. I've got lots of camphor & I'm cutting up some Brasil (Texas Ironwood) roots.

Thanks Mark - no hurry. I only turn a couple of pens per week & I have plenty to keep me busy for a while.

I received the box (actually a Flat Rate envelope, box inside, along with what Ed considers to be packing material, but which "looks" remarkably similar to pen blanks) Saturday afternoon. After my give and take, the box was sent on it's way Monday morning to Mike Broberg.

Going Home
The Box was in my mailbox this afternoon.
The photos are of what arrived, what I took and what I put in. I will drop it in a mailbox early Friday morning as I set off to the MAPG. The Tracking number is 9405903699300409965280
A big round of applause for Dick for running this activity. It wasn't easy and he had two of them going at once. Thanks Dick! :biggrin:

The box has arrived and it is jamb packed with goodies. As I had hoped there will be enough really cool things I probably will not use to donate a box to next years BASH! Thanks to all who participated!
