Get a drink and settle in for a story. A gentleman in my town happened across the IAP forum. I have never met him before. He contacted me through an email that he had a small pallet of wood scraps that he wanted to go to someone who would use them. He did not want them resold on Ebay. After a few emails back and forth I went out to his house and picked up the wood. Most of the scrap is Walnut and Cherry. There is a smattering of Mahogany and Oak. THere may even be a piece of maple. I have cut most of it up into 3/4 x 3/4 strips. length is 8-11 inches long.
Here is the deal. I have at the moment 4 medium flat rate boxes packed and ready to go. The majority of the wood is walnut, Then Cherry then a few pieces of other stuff. There are around 6 -8 pieces that are less than 11 inches long in each box. There are 7 rows of 10 in each box so 70 pieces total that should produce 2 pen each. More if you do the Sierra styles.

The cost of the Box is $12.00 Thats for covering shipping and paypal fees.
You can have only one box.
You must make a pen for the gentleman that gave me the wood. I will pm you his name and address if you get one of the boxes. It doesnt have to be a platinum diamond covered ruby crusted pen. A slim line or cigar or sierra will do. He just thought it would be nice to get a pen back from it.

I have a few pieces left to cut and some smaller left overs I will put together in Small Flat Rate boxes and post them later.
THere are some glue up cut offs that I have to see if they can be salvaged and some 2x2 cherry stock I need to decide what can be done with it.

Any takers?

Pms returned and sent If you want on the list let me know I have some cherry drops and other stuff I need to cut up and get rid of my self. So even when the 4 are gone put your name in or if you just want a small flat rate box with 20 for $6.00 let me know. THe fourth one is yours.
 
Mike that is pretty cool of the guy in your town and of you for doing this. I don't need any blanks just wanted to say thanks for doing it.

By the way if you run across one of those
"platinum diamond covered ruby crusted pen" I wouldn't mind seeing it.

newbie

I am brand new to this. Just joined IAP yesterday. Seems reasonable to me that I will need to practice and your offer is very generous. I understand that your offer has already been requested but if you have any in the future I would be interested.
