I dropped off 40 wood pen blanks for the pens for troops at the local Woodcraft. 10 spalted maple, 10 cedar, and 20 black walnut. I think the only one that did not appreciate them was the guy drilling the blanks.

Drilling is easy, what about the glue-up guy? ;-)

Gluing is easy. What about the guy that had to do the body cavity searches to ensure no one stole those blanks. We all know Ed will only give the best for us. Thanks Ed! My fellow Marines and the sister services appreciate it.

I think a lot of us on here are veterans, and we have to give back to our own, even if it is different branches.

Agreed. That's one of the main reasons I keep coming back. I know many hear either were or are in the service or support us!
Thanks Ed for that great donation. It's such a great thing to be able to give back to those who are still servings and I hope to be able to some pens for them once I get my lathe and start turning some pens. It does not matter which branch they are in Army, Air Force, Coast Guard, Navy and that other part of the Navy the Marines.

Come to the meeting nov 2 and Woodcraft provide the lathe (you just need tools and kits) and Ed provide the blanks.
I'll be there Mike and I'll bring my PSI pen genie. I guess I'll get a kit while I'm there. I can't wait.

Mike if I am not mistaken they are providing the kits. Might bring some bushings though (for slims).

Thanks Ed. I have done kits for troops on my own, but never did it at Woodcraft before.
