Before Pictures
Here's what Box #1 looked like when it started out in May. Boxes #1 & #2 were both SFRBs that were shipped on the same day - the first photo shows the boxes which were placed inside priority rate envelopes. Photo #2 shows the contents of the second box:
Vertical blanks on the left: Spalted Maple, Mulberry from KY & Huisache from my farm.
Vertical blanks on the right: Mango from Hawaii & Spalted Pecan from my farm.
Horizontal blanks in the center: Banksia Pod blank from George (Robutacion) in Australia, a Rainbow Colored Casting from an unknown source, 2 BOW blanks and 5 blanks from Hawaii (Koa, Spalted Signature (or Autograph), Milo, Royal Poinciana & Pheasantwood).
The miscellaneous items are: a LeRoi Elegant pen kit from Smitty's Pen Works in Bk-Chr/Chrome, a 24k Sierra-style pen kit (I forget exactly which one or where I got it), a pack of 5 assorted slimline specialty clips, a set of 4 homemade delrin finishing bushings, a 50 cal & a .308 shell case and a Chrome Seam Ripper Kit.
The contents of Boxes 1 & 2 were very similar, but not completely identical.
