Hi peoples,
OK so, I have a box with a "few" Olive wood root blanks that I will be giving away, in small 500gr boxes/bags (7 to 8 blanks).
They are the first batch from my large Olive root dismantling shown here, I cut them at 22+mm square but, they didn't behave (no Olive wood on any kind, does...!) so they shrunk and curled a lot more than I was expected however, they are every bit of amazing grains...!
Interestingly, they all come from the same "chunk" and most other chunks didn't miss behave as badly (from what I can see from the bungles/drying towers) so, I salvage what I could that could still be made into a pen and put the "screw making blanks" in the firewood box...!
There are some shorts but most are full size, there is, the closest I could to my normal sizes but, while the length didn't suffer too much, the square(ish) size is now between 17 and 19mm, not ideal to make big/fat pens but, most suitable for many kits out there.
Anyone can have 1 (one) box only per person, the only 2 conditions are;
*- 1- You give the correct answer to the question asked...!
*- 2- You pay for freight/shipping from me to you (Paypal)
I should have enough for about half a dozen boxes/bags so, plenty to go around...!
After the question is made, you can give as many answers as you like, I will only post once a day (evening, Australia SA time) with a confirmation of either, no correct answer yet or, a winner has been found. Only after that, I will post the following question/guess, for the next box/bag.
When they are all gone, I will consider what to do...!:wink::biggrin:
All questions asked, are directly or indirectly involved with pen turning/making.
So, let the fun begin...!
Question 1 - What is this (the piece over the log) used for...???
UPDATE on "Giveaway" status;
*- Question - 1 (answered) Sully
*- Question - 2 (answered) Tim'sTurnings
*- Question - 3 (answered) DaveTTC
*- Question - 4 (answered) johncrane
*- Question - 5 (answered) teamtexas
*- Question - 6 (answered) TLTHW
*- Question - 7 (answered) jyreene
*- Question - 8 ( in play )
*- Question - 9 ( available)
*- Question - 10 ( available)
Any more...????, undetermined yet...!
Good luck,
Cheers
