Thanks, Don, we enjoyed seeing you and the others at Bubbasville. As soon as we got home, Nick had to cruise the neighborhood and see if he could terrorize any of the girls with the snakeskin and mesquite pen you helped him with (Nick's 9, so terrorizing the neighborhood girls is currently one of his highest aspirations). We also drilled and glued up the cedar blank you gave him tonight, and he's planning on turning it tomorrow night. The snakeskin pens in the pics are from BB at Ariz. Silhouette- I've got a couple of test sierras glued to the tubes, but need to finish plumbing my HF Pressure pot before trying my first casting. I've got a feeling it's going to be a while before I can even get close to the quality of the snakeskin blanks he sells.
