I thought I would comment on the products and service I got from Glimmerznmore recently. Awhile back I wanted to order some snakeskin blanks and called glimmerz left a message but never got a call back so I ordered from another supplier. Not happy with that supplier so when I needed more decided to try glimmerz again. Called and left a message again and this time Gina called me back in about an hour. I explained to her about my earlier phone call with no response she explained that she had had trouble with her cell phone and didn't get the message. We talked about her skins and I ordered an example of everything she has. Python, cobra, wolf fish, perch and monitor lizard. At the end of the call she told me she was going to send me a free set done in cane toad skin that had been dyed aqua. She shipped exactly when she said she would. Got them yesterday and am very impressed. Went down to the shop this morning and turned one of the pythons and wow. This is the easiest blank I think I have ever turned. Cut like butter. My only comment is that its soo soft that it required a good tripoli buff even after the mm to get a nice clear finish (maybe I didn't sand enough). Gina was very personable on the phone and a delite to do biz with. I will deffinatly give her more. Can't wait till tonite to turn the toad! This is soo easy I almost feel guilty about charging more for the skin pens ( notice I said almost:D)

Good to hear that cane toads are being used in the US too. They are an absolute blight here in Australia and are spreading around the top end and heading for our part of the world in Western Australia.

They were introduced to supposedly control beetles in cane crops but have become a much bigger pest themselves.

The toads have poison glands, and even its tadpoles are highly toxic, so it basically kills anything that tries to eat it, and a lot of native fauna falls victim.
 
I got all of the blanks turned over the weekend. I found all of them to be very nice. I think my favorite is the green perch. Looks very cool. After I see how these sell I will be ordering more.
