Pretty common question, but Dawn and I just realized how much Exotics changes each month.
Right now, we got a nice box from Jonathon Brooks, which is going quickly, but it is found here:http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...tegory_id=172&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
Last week, Jason Swanson brought over some new blanks (he sold out the week before), but the pen blanks are here:http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...rt&page=shop.browse&category_id=194&Itemid=60
Jason also makes Peppermill blanks, which were here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...tegory_id=193&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60 until they sold out, along with his box blanks, which also sold out.
Also Akbar (Steve) sent us some new blanks, which are shown here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=40&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
Steve was VERY active on the IAP a couple years ago, all his blanks are intricate segmentations. Truly a great blank for a "top shelf" pen.
Charlie (NewLondon88) sent us some of his "mini Resin Savers", which are always popular and will leave quickly, they are here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...rt&page=shop.browse&category_id=122&Itemid=60
We introduced these at the AAW symposium during the summer and sold out!! The woodturners did not have resin, but they bought them with all kinds of comments!!
IAP members buy them, cause they know how to USE them---NOVEL idea!
Gary (CaptG) is finally on dry land long enough to make a few blanks for us!! You can find his latest creations here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=60&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
I got some Italian Acrylic sheets over a month ago, we had a little naming contest on FaceBook and a few styles of those have been added here:
http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
here:http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...age.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
here:http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...age.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
and here:http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
Some of these will show out of stock as the week progresses, but I have several slabs to cut up, so they will be back!!
Also recently, we added the leatherette and wood pen boxes that came in in June, finally they are "up" and available here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
The wood are shown on this page, near the bottom of the page:
http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...e=shop.browse&Itemid=60&limit=50&limitstart=0
There are also several NEW patterns from Jeff Powell, shown here:
http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
"Fun house" is restocked, here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...age.tpl&pop=0&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
"Celtic Dragon" in copper or black, copper is here: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
That should be a good start, this week we just want you to know WHY we have 4000 page views each day. If you don't LOOK, you could MISS something!!! Dawn adds about 50 new products at a time (constructs the page and puts the product "up") and she does that AT LEAST 3 days each week. So, we can't always TELL you what is NEW---you have to LOOK!!
Blink, and you could miss it!!
I'll add more, but the fastest "check" is to look at this section, several times a day, new things come in alphabetical order, so if you just see the first page, you could be "out of luck". http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=32&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
Two things you may not know:
1) The "search" function on Exotics is excellent---use a keyword and you can find nearly anything.
2) The "notify me" button is a software switch. If you click on that, the software AUTOMATICALLY sends you an email when that product is "put up" or "restocked"--no need for US to remember it, it happens!!
Both of these tools are used often by our regular customers---try them!!!
Edit in: Dawn says I should have mentioned the cocobolo burl---I'm guessing you will find it, without me saying a word---we'll see, tomorrow.
Last Edit in: Dawn also ordered some "front sections" for fountain pens. These will fit the Jr series, as well as all the Berea front ends we have tried. The section includes the metal housing, the nib, feed and plastic housing. These can be found here, a quick way to sell a rollerball AND a fountain pen, using only one body: http://www.exoticblanks.com/index.p...ategory_id=37&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=60
Thanks for reading!
Happy Thanksgiving weekend,
we'll tell you more tomorrow!
