Thanks Jen, I was thinking "sunset", but what I really wanted was for you all to express yourselves with whatever the wood tells you to do with it.I will try to send everyone their own choices and I will be very interested to see the results
As for u Skew u greedy bugger, you'll get what your given

It was worth a try.

I'll be delirious with whatever you wish to send me ... I thinks part of the whole experience is getting the bundle in the mail and opening it to see what it looks like ... a bit like Christmas ... then the oohhing and aaarhing and the planning.

I was thinking "sunset"

I'm hoping that's a lovely WA sunset without a fire in sight (as you know, the smoke thurns them bright orange then!), I see lovely ones reflected off our tuart's in the evening. The best ones are the ones I'm riding my horse into

iroko & bull oak for me.

If you update your, sell swap listing you may be able to consolidate some sales with your swap postings.
cheers

everyone got what they wanted, and more. After I had wrapped them I realised I could bump them up to 250g, at no extra cost. So, I brought them home and added some extra bits. Your parcels will start arriving as of Monday. I am so very sorry for them being late.

Sounds cool dude, extras are always a bonus

Gawd, I hope I can get rid of my bad juju before these blanks turn up!

I destroyed another today, making two pens in three or four days... (plus a few tools, breadboards & my fingers, as mentioned in another thread. ) This is getting to be bloody ridiculous. :mad:

oh Cool Rowie old mate

Skew mate I am sorry. Must be the weather. I can't get a pen to come together that gives you that well done feeling. Must be going around. Hope it buggers off real soon and you get some fun done, but at least I have not grabbed a bandsaw blade again

I got an express post bag today. I thought, hmm, I've already got my Froggie order, and my Carrols, so what is this :confused: . It was relatively heavy and full of bits and pieces - couldn't wait, so ripped it open, then:eek: - it was Rowie's big big bag of pen blanks

Gee Rowie, how many months are you providing blanks for again, there is heaps in the bag . Thanks mate

Now got to decide what the hell I am going to do :confused:

Mine arrived today .

Boy do I have some choices:eek: , will have to put the thinking cap on for this one methinks

And mine. Gonna have to do a Toni pen, I think... one with all the feathers, beads, bells & whistles.

Or maybe not.

Skew bells and whistle I like to see that
Do we have a theme this month or not?
Toni

mine arrived yesterday. got quite a shock at what was in there, so many choices. my pens may not be laminated etc this month because i haven't got any bandsaw blades and i dont know when i'll be able to get one, and i cant cut up laminates by hand.

cheers

oh mine has arrived right now...NIIIiiiiicccccccccceee wood. Gorgeous wood
thank you
Toni
