This is true, we should not leave out the guys who are very generous with blanks... Neil, Charlie, ect... they have brought and freely given / traded blanks that are very nice... I LOVE that "pod-casted" blank (PS... feel free to use that term Neil, cool, Eh?)
I was showing it to my wife and when she asked what it was, I told her it was a seed pod that had been cast in colored resin.... then I told her, I guess you could say it has been pod-casted... (Yea, I am like that all the time and it drives her nuts~)
