Holy cow ... time's fun when you're havin' flies.
I figure since I haven't been here in 11 years, I should reintroduce myself. And I should immediately disclose my intentions.... (those who remember me know a long story is about to unfold, lol!)
11 years ago, I bought my wedding rings from Bruce Boone and it still sits on my finger today! I found Bruce here and happily gave him my business.
Fast forward to about 2 years ago. I quit my job as a web developer after 17 years due to severe burnout. In the 2 years I've since had no actual job, I started my own business.
I swear I'm not here to promote my business. What I'm after is a supplier for something my products rely upon.
I make branding irons for woodworkers. Those irons have stainless steel handles with a hardwood grip on the end. THIS is what I'm hoping some of you could help point me towards.
I need a supplier for these hardwood grips because I seem to have been one of the few people that didn't fall into the turning vortex. I'm looking to buy hundreds of these and ideally I'd like to support a member of this fine group if possible.
I'm sorry I haven't been here in ELEVEN dang years. I'll be honest with you: I just don't dig turning much - it didn't hook me. The most turning I've done has been the first few hundred handles I needed for these irons and, quite frankly, it would drive me mad and that's a short drive.
I feel like a complete stranger to this place, now, but I used to be kinda active back in the '0s before I got married, bought a house and built up a shop. So much has happened since I was last here and I do feel bad for not hanging with you fine people more in that time. To be honest, I'm stunned it has been that many years ...
I hope you all are well and humbly hope you all don't mind me coming back out of the blue looking for a supplier.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jason
