2/20 - PO was closed yesterday, so the balance of the packages were mailed today. Everything has now been shipped.
2/19 - I should have thought about what today is. It's Presidents' Day and I do believe the PO is closed. I work only a block from there so I will check to see if they're open. If they are closed, everything will ship tomorrow.
2/17 - Only 11 more to pack and everything will ship on Monday. Maybe tomorrow I can make a pen. [:0]
2/14 - My wife called and told me that 6 more boxes were delivered today, so it is all accounted for.
2/13 - I got back a bit later than planned due to airline mechanical problems. Nine boxes were shipped on 2/9. Two boxes, 156 blanks, were delivered yesterday and the box with the certificates was delivered today. I will start packing stuff up working from the top of the list. I expect to get the remainder over the next couple of days.
1/31 - I have ordered the blanks, 553 in total. complete with brochures and certificates. They are expecting to ship the complete order on 2/6. I'm leaving town on 2/8 and will not return until 2/12, so nothing will happen with it that weekend. They were, BTW, pretty impressed with the size of the order.
OK, I finally got samples and we got a couple of pens turned. This is two views of the samples they sent. The second view is rotated 90 degrees. Then a couple of pens turned from two of the samples. Lou and I purposely didn't use the best looking wood.
The pens show the worst possible wood we will get and most, if not all of it will be like the blanks numbered 3,5,9,10 and 11. The price per blank will be $4.95 which includes the shipping to me and PayPal fees, except the $0.30 per transaction. I know I can get 10 blanks in a $4.05 flat rate envelope, maybe even a few more. There will be certificates for all the blanks. You can either post your order here and I'll send you an email with the total amount for PayPal or you can send me an email through the IAP with your order. I will leave this open until January 31.
UPDATE: 1-23 I received a second set of samples from Ancientwood because Bob, the owner, wasn't satisfied with what they sent the first time. We will be getting wood that looks like this.
