Your welcome Greg. I sent a reply to your email too. I posted this before, but here is cigar that I turned out of some super spalted maple that I stabilized.

Wow, thats an awsome looking pen!
Thanks for all the info. I don't plan on doing a lot of stablizing. just the occaisional blank that I don't want to loose because it's so punky.

I think I would just cry if I lost three like that![] You guys are encouraging the rest of us to try it, too! [] Next thing you know rotten wood sales will be going through the roof! And prices will be spiraling up, too! [] Thanks!

Mudder,
Thanks for the link. All I gotta do now is find a jar and I'm ready to try a few.

Awesome looking pen James!!! I've thought about trying my hand at it but have not yet. I sent away 4 blanks to ....(name escapes me at the moment)...for a trial stabilization for $7.00. Have not received it back yet. I'll have to call him if it doesn't show up sometime soon.

Jeff,
It is likely Steve White at http://www.rrpwhite.com/ that you are trying to remember. Steve is the only one I know who offers a trial of his services.

You're absolutely right, that is who I sent it to. I'll fire off an e-mail to see if he can give me a status.
