I'm almost tempted to go for a drive north to have a look when Sam gets it

Yipee! The box has arrived shopping done and box reloaded. I have tried to put some more variety back in the box.

I know its not a great picture as it is not focused properly. I also know how to shop Jenny, love your art work.

Nick you will have to fly if you want to see it.

Can I please have a contact to send the box on to.

I also removed some damaged stock and replaced it.

Guess we are going to have a lot more players when the next box gets going

sam pm sent for details of next in line

it has always been a mystery with only myself and the 2 people that have the box or are getting the box with that person letting everybody know that its finally coming there way

only this time im going to announce the next in line..... ME
its been on the road sine mid august last year getting heaps of frequent flyer points along the way
when i get the box back i will be taking posting pics of what was in it to start with showing how it changed along the way and showing pics of my haul

i will prob organise another round starting in a month or 2
will definitly have more takers this time round if i do

looks like I'll have to wait for Troy's piccies

Yep I'll join in on the next one

Hey Sam
good to see someone following good shopping example!!! You have a great selection of timber from a great state !!! Sharpen the tools for the wandoo and the tuart ... some tough timbers there. Have you met snottygobble before? Unremarkable timber - great name!
Well done Troy - it's coming home to rest. Thanks for making it happen - the box has certainly covered some ground.
Hope to be in it again if it happens.

Thanks Jenny always a good shopper, I have meet most of the WA timbers before and some from you in our old monthly swap we used to have years ago. I think I have seen snottygobble before I think Sundowner gave me some when he was over east. The one I have not seen before is minirichi.

Now to get the time to make some pens still working on my new rear deck and roof, electric are the go today if the rain holds off.

Also interested in Fred's bark blank it is already in the CA bath

Troy as per our PM it will be away today or tomorrow

Good to see you got a good haul Sam, make sure you keep the CA up to that bark as you are turning it. Sharp tools and easy cuts does it.

I see you got a set of wedding blanks as well.

There were some interesting timbers there, be interesting to see what Troy finishes up with compared to what he sent off.

I'll certainly be taking part in the next one if and when it happens.

Thank you again Troy for making this happen

Thanks Troy for all your organising, it has ben very interesting to follow it in it's travels and see what has come out of it from stop to stop. I will be a participant when the next one starts it's trip around Oz.

Well done and well executed

Troy

Gone this morning via express mail, slightly over but they let me get away with it.

Be interesting to see start to finish.

Once again many thanks for running the mystery parcel, I think you will have a lot more takers next time.

Troy, did you forget to tell everyone, that the books are closed, only foundation "boxers" are permitted in future whip arounds.

Just joking
