    Unfortunately,my spare days before Christmas are very limited, otherwise I would have loved to help you out Chris.
    Hopefully someone with the time on their hands will be able to take you up on it.

    I would be happy to help you out if you reckon there is enough time seeing as I am in Victoria.
    Let me know if you want to try it.

    Happy to jump in too to help you out Chris if required

    Edit - your 'usual suspects' are anything but usual.....I've been the lucky recipient of your timber in the past - and if this is the private stash it will make some amazing presents

    Cheers DonP and Gabriel for your responses

    Let me know if you need some $ for the kits folks
    Heaps of stunning blanks...just let me know how many you would like and what species you prefer
    Most around 150mm long...rest at 125mm
    And of course nasty figure
    P.M me your thoughts and mailing addresses too...MM

    Hi Ironwood.

    Wish it was me with that stash of beautiful wood destined (at least some) for pens. I have my own private stash of course, but sadly I am not a pen turner and don't plan to be one. But I do appreciate the skill and finished results as Chris will with his woods, which are always exceptional, I am sure Don & Gab will do a great job, both being Victorians of course,

    Euge

    PS: Beautiful selection of woods Chris!!

    Sorry Chris and Euge, I typed that reply after just waking up after a sleep after nighshift. Was obviously still half asleep.
    The job will be in safe hands with Don and Gab.
