Somewhere emerged the idea of a quacker!!!

For goodness sakes Charlie!!!! Don't incourage him!!!:biggrin:

But you have to give him ten out of ten for being brave enough to blow a tiger's quacker:eek:

I can picture him walking the streets of downtown Racine playing little tunes:biggrin:

That would make it a kazoo!!!! You Brits just ain't up on "hip" instruments!

And I clearly have enough courage, already IN.

Hope things are going well for you, Skippy!!
 
Cris,

It is BRAND NEW!! Comes in a 50mm diameter rod (2"). Just playing with ways to use it. Needs to be $2.25 per inch, so a 3" piece is $6.75. 4" would be $9 and make two bottle stoppers.

Also available in snow leopard and zebra patterns. Not on Exotics yet, so email me, if you have interest or alternative ideas!!

Revised to include freight from Europe:
Now $3.90 per linear inch​

Your an evil person - temping folks like that -- lucky I found a cure -- besides buying more. I started to organize my blank collection I did not think I had that many pen blanks in stock.

This is the right time of the year to do some turning. And it would be nice to start using the hardware I stocked up over the winter.

I don't want to know how much money is in the pen blank box. And I don't want to think about the pen kit box at all.

The website has progressed a long way - and has some nice features. Very good idea putting under one umbrella the specialized pen blanks.

Hmm...if I move the items into a a couple of boxes and hide one or two maybe I can trick myself into buying some more...

.....it's time to lock up the credit cards before I hit the web.

Ed,
Apart from checking out a tiger's quacker, I mean we all stopped at the monkey exhibit and had a good chuckle... seriously.

Is there enough tiger pattern in the whole piece to cut that 2" diameter rod or yours up into 4 equal sections and still get the beauty of it. I'm looking at a drawing I did and should be able to get 4-0.75" rods out of it with the kerf of a table saw included. (After I typed this I saw how disgusting this sounds, but I will leave it stand)

Sounds like pictures are in order.

Will do so, when I locate one of the cameras with batteries!!!

Well it took me q few minutes to stop laughing, and now I just have to ask the obvious. Following the various directions this thread has gone off on, just what was so funny about the monkeys? I mean, was it that their 'quackers' were different from your's or the tigers ... or what!

Dang, I am certainly glad everyone here has a sense of humor!

Ok here's the pic.........not of what you were thinking of Ed sorry. Apparently the local CVS didn't think those pictures were too funny. I think that they were just jealous.

I thought about it last night and quickly drew it out. There is always the possiblity of getting a quadrant that does not have all the pattern as the others, depending on the randomness. Also, there is the "fun" of cutting a round blank on a tablesaw. I used the approx blade width of my tablesaw for the kerf dimension. What do you think?

I think you were a draftsmen in a previous life (I once sold drafting products, knew a number of these types). BEAUTIFUL arrowheads!!

The patterns are designed to be turned. The size of the "dots" on the cheetah is larger than the "pen blank". I think this approach would be more dangerous than it is worth.

But, I still have TEN fingers, so I am clearly chicken!!!
