It's been a rough year. There's probably not many who remember me. But I wanted to drop in and say hi and I'm still alive . . . Not turning now, but still kickin.
I am really impressed with all the advances and creativity I see here now in pens of all kinds and absolutely amazing blanks now available. Makes my mouth water . . .
My dear friend and cousin who has cared for me for 15 years past away suddenly a few months ago. I've been trying to keep on. A few weeks ago I had to sell my bandsaw, drill press and some tools. Kaye's family trashed most of the wood I'd collected and had on the patio when they "cleaned up her things". The kids are planning on selling her house. But they haven't given me any clue as to how long I have here.
I still have my lathe. But I seem to have forgotten quite a bit. Does anyone know how to make blanks out of rose petals? I think I remember someone doing this before. I've enjoyed over 6 dozen red roses off Kaye's two rose bushes and have saved and dried all the petals. I'd really like to make some usable blanks I could make pens from . . . Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks all. Cathy Sue
