Blanks, blanks too many nice blanks.

[toolcrazy]

I know some of you say, "Never too much wood". Well, I have to agree. But, my wife doesn't. I always get, "Your buying more blanks, what are you going to do with them all?". Well, I'm trying to cut back, but I see too many nice blanks for sale here and on ebay. I'm addicted to buying blanks and pen making. I need help!!!........not.

Steve,
My solution to this problem is to stay away from the individual and business classified forums...that's the ONLY way I know of to avoid the temptation to buy more! I've basically given up on eBay unless there's something specific that I need that I can't get from one of our "regular" vendors.

Of course, I came home from Bubbasville East with a bunch of new blanks, but they don't count...

Steve,

Clearly the only solution is to send these all to me so that your wife will not know you have them. [}]

Luckly, I have some of these and more on order.

I offset my blank buying, recently, by buying my wife a nice MP3 player. It worked, the last batch of australian wood I bought she said, "Those are gorgous" Bribes work.

I've only turned 2 so far, and my wife tried to steal the first. I have 8 more left, with 20 more comming. I need to get my website updated and start selling some of these pens.
