The 3 photos below show what was in the LFRB that I got back.
Photo#1 - Miscellaneous Items
A storage shelf kit for 2P-10 glue bottles - I definitely need that
A 2P10 Mini Kit - another keeper for sure

2 pieces of Timeless Timber wood - probably walnut & birch -- Thanks Jeff (Ttpenman) - these are special and they really have nice figuring!
Photo#3 - Cedar & Walnut
I put the ERC & Walnut in a separate photo - most if not all of this came from Todd Webb (Penmaker1967). Todd & I were PITH buddies last year and he sent me some nice ERC & walnut along with the pen. When he got Box #2, he asked me if I had any requests so I told him that I would appreciate a few more of his ERC & walnut blanks if he had any to spare. He outdid himself with this fine selection -- Thanks Todd! If anyone else contributed some of this wood - thanks to you too! I really enjoy working with ERC.
Thanks to everyone for playing and for your contributions to this box. All of this is great stuff, but there is much more than I would be able to use in a reasonable amount of time, so some of it will find its way to IAP members in the form of BASH prizes.
