I tell you, it was a pretty easy drive, except for the part where we had to cross the creek!! I mean road went straight through a creek. Gary's place was unbelievable. He has enough wood to build a million pens. And talk about rare wood, he has plenty of that also. Got to see some crocodile jaw bone pens. And his latest Casein pens were just beautiful. Margie was hard at work cranking out Toy Trains and Piggy banks. Ended up picking up some blanks along with the joiner and sanders. Also Gary threw in a really awesome blank I'll have to save for later. Thanx for all the hospitality Gary. Hope to come back soon.:biggrin:
