Thank you, Thank you, and Thank you! (Goodies Gloat!)

[RAdams]

Isaid it three times because i owe three thank you's!

First, Thank you to IAP! Without this resource, the other two thank you's would not have been possible.:biggrin:


Next, Thank you to my good friend that sent me a rattler blank for a Jr series pen, two blanks that another friend has been working on, and one of Jonathan's raw fusion blanks. As if that wasn't enough, he sent me two Cigar kits. Just in the nick of time too because i need one for the penmakers challenge very soon! I did him a small favor with a bit of personal gain, and this is how he repaid me. What a champ! He knows who he is... I dont want to embarass (sp) anyone so i wont mention his name. Thank you man! I appreciate it!


The last thank you goes to another person that will remain anonymous. This person contacted me asking if i would be interested in trading some of my homebrew blanks for some wood blanks. Naturally i said HECK YEAH!! Especially when he listed some of the species he had.

I have traded alot of boxes of wood over the last 4 plus years i have been turning, But NEVER have i seen such an impressive small flat rate trade box. This box absolutely floored me!

(The senders handwriting is very very small, and my eyes are not so good, and some of these species i have never heard of, so i dont know if they are right or not...If you know an obvious correction to what i list, please share it with me.)

Green, red and blue dyed box elder burl rasta bead blanks
Aussie Golden Wattle
Red spalt BEB

I have to agree about IAP. I have met quite a few people because of this site that I truly consider friends. Also those Red and Blue blanks look like some of Kentucky's Finest. :wink:Can't wait to see some finished pics.

[RAdams]

Kentucky's finest eh? Sounds interesting!!! (In my best Shanaynay voice) HAAaAAY!!!:tongue:... i mean HEEeEEY!!!:tongue:,,, No wait, I had it right the first time i think... HAAaAAY:tongue:!!!:biggrin:

Pineapple lumps? Was that the candy? I need to take a picture of the newpaper article you sent me... maybe with me in a similar pose as the guy in the article!!?? That would probably be funny, allthough i dont think mine is as long as his:biggrin:.


I have recieved corrections for all the messed up names i had going on!!



The brown wattle is actually brown mallee burl.
The satinwood is Ceylon satinwood.
The last spelling is correct for Maidou burl
The cheetah crotch is actually Chechen crotch
And Molave is correct.

The two that were marked as favorite are among the senders favorites to turn. I shall do one of those first!
