Pen Blank donation

**MAPLEMAN** · 19th March 2013, 11:22 PM

If its alright to do so,i would like to donate a further 50 blanks,but only in Crows Ash this time.The reason being, the timber is from a tree that i salvaged last year, that was growing(it had actually died)in surburban Woodford,and was planted back in 1921(i think) to commemorate a digger by the name of C.W.Smith(WW1)...given the link,i thought this was a way of keeping the memory of this digger alive...and to connect the troops with a little bit of history..will post them off tomorrow Sam..Cheers MM

Hi Sam
if I put a post bag in the mail could I please put dibs on some of the Crows Ash as I think the significance is lovely. Can't see the turn around enabling them to go for Anzac Day but definitely by Christmas.

Well done Chris, as Jenny still has some postage here she was on the list anyway but if you send her some that's great, I think we need to push this timber and make some more beautiful pens. Looking forward to seeing some end results

Hey MM

send me 10 if you would (can you include with my wood order?)

I like the history and could possibly do 10 more for the troops, maybe
