    EDITED: No but you never know we have had many a new member trying to sell stuff haven't we.

    My Score was 3 pen type blanks from the fellow who was selling Queen African Ebony on Friday he had a big box of off cuts FREE.

    I bought a nice piece of Huon Pine from Mal which I had pre-ordered pics later.

    That was the extent of my spending spree as I forgot to go back and buy my Wood Wipe from the Rustins stand.



    Ok so I scored even more

    Sawdustmaker/Nick brought some nice Cumquat & Mandarin Marmalade a vintage batch June 2009

    from Pat some timber QLD Wallnut, Tassie Myrtle, Kuri Pine, pencils which won't roll off the bench and something to see in the dark with. Thanks Pat

    Off Simonatra/Sam a selection of pen blanks one being a piece of his Jim Bean Oak stave Thanks Sam.


    Come on guys show what ya got.

    Thanks Pat timber looked similar but weight was very different the larger bit being much much heavier not due to size but density also.

    Here's my gear that I picked up, I got a set of bowl jaws which I had ordered from Carrolls. Didn't intend to pick up the grinder but at $130 I couldn't go past it as my current one is cheap and nasty (with an emphasis on nasty). I got a few bowl blanks to keep me going but by far my favourite score were the two pieces of Maple from Mapleman... really beautiful stuff that shimmers under the light. Its almost going to be a pity to cut it but I think I will get over that fairly quickly
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    I must express my slight dissapointment with the show. It seems each year the exhibitors get less and less. Missing Bosch, HItachi, Ryobi, Dremel (from memory it was all part of a big Gasweld display). Timbecon, Carbatec got smaller, Hafco was tiny, Professional Woodwork Supplies, and there just seemed fewer bits and pieces to buy.
    I picked up an Incra V27. They just had them for the retail price.I had to ask to get a 10% discount to match was Carbatec was offering instore (as they didn't have any at the show)

    Not much. Just a bit of Rosewood and some bits and pieces.

    You know for a while I thought that you were not going to post the Rosewood. As I think that every Sydney member at the show knew about the Rosewood. (also discussed during the lunch on Saturday )
