I recieved my e-mail from jbyrd, can't wait and sent an e-mail to hdbblue. This is going to be fun!!!!![][][][]

 

[hdbblue]

My blanks are in the mail to Indianapolis - now the test is to see if Canada Post and USPS can cooperate to get them there within the 26 day window. Fingers crossed.

Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me. Hap...hmm, it's not my birthday, but I just got a box of really nice blanks. Thanks Jim! I really love the heartwood/sapwood blanks.

 

[Johnathan]

I hope everyone is working hard getting their blanks sent out. This can and will be fun if no one is left having sent blanks without receiving any. If you signed up, contact your person and get them some blanks!

If anyone is having problems not getting a hold of someone first check your spam controls on your email. I found a couple of emails hiding in there. After that, if you still have a problem, email me. Thanks!

Mine should have hit Texas by now, but who knows, that state is so damn big []

Hey.... Calling ALWAYS PRACTICING!!!!!

I need to hear from you so I can send your blanks to you. I have sent you two emails and haven't heard back. I hope everything is ok with you!! Talk to me dude!![]

I AM A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!! Stan - also known as mrcook4570 - sent me a Great package. I received a cross-cut cocobolo, angle cut sapele, palm and koa. As a new turner, the best part is he sent a handwritten sheet that offered suggestions on how to turn each of these successfully. My wife is also from West Virginia, so he sent two extra blanks that are from his property - a curly maple blank and a spalted oak blank - that are both fantastic. I can't imagine having this wood on your own property. Here in Utah I have aspen and pine trees - I don't see alot of folks talking about their great aspen pens. So, in closing - THANK YOU STAN. You've made this a great experience for me. Lane

I am glad to hear that you are happy with the blanks. I was able to narrow my selection down to about a dozen, but couldn't decide from there, so I closed my eyes and grabbed four. Be sure to post pics of the finished pens []

Got mine from Old Folks. Many thanks OF. Beautiful wood, especally the cross cut Osage Orange blank.

They are now in DC (okay, Virginia), and MAN are they sweet! Thank you VERY much! You went WAY above and beyond! There's a lot of new woods to add to my collection - and I thought I had a pretty extensive collection!

Thanks again!

 

[Dario]

Russ,

I got my package today...I thought I am the only one who doesn't know how to count []

Thank you for accomodating my "request". LOML is thrilled with the "Snow White" Holly and already counting how many pens she can make out of them LOL.

THANKS!!!!

[byounghusband]

Fuzzydog,
Got the package in the mail today. THANK YOU!!!!! I have never even heard of Apiitong. It looks interesting as does the Iron Bark, which feels quite dense. Sharp tool I'm sure.
That Koa is amazing!! And the DI is beautiful. Thanks for the added corion and the cocobolo. Those skinnier pieces are just right for a lonely piece of Pink Ivory that I have not known what to do with. Now I need to come up with something wild for those!!
Thanks Man, you ROCK!![][][]

 

[RussFairfield]

Jim,
It must have. Sent again through IAP link.

Surprize me on the wood.

Hey Dale, those are some beautiful blanks. I have never seen a prettier Birdseye hickory as this one. Thanks man!!

He did send me curly maple, bird's eye maple, spalted maple, black locust and walnut in addition to the hickory! All are great blanks. I did request that he send me local woods as I already have a large supply of exotic blanks.

Have you noticed that most people are sending more then the four blanks! What a great group!

Fred in TN

 

[Rochester]

Thanks Fred. I'm glad that you enjoy the blanks. That hickory was really something.

Dale

[hdbblue]

Got my blanks today from realgenius - Thanks Debra, it seems that a lot of us are lacking in basic math skills - I keep on counting these blanks and I seem to get more than four every time I count. I really like the black palm even though you say you don't like to turn it and the Sapele looks really nice too. The Salt Cedar and the apricot and the wormy maple all look like they'll make nice pens. I got my order of TSW from Rob today too so I best get out to the shop and see what I can turn out.
