Time For A Gloat?

[Richard in Smithville]

About two weeks ago, I got an email from a friend who, among many things, is a pro woodworker. It seems he had a load of exotic "scraps" that were destined for the wood stove when he though of my pen turning. Long story short-he cut them to size and mailed them off to me. The box arrived yesterday with 158 pen blanks! There's wenge, zebra wood, silky oak, yellow heart, lace wood, and a few other species. Looks like I'm going to be busy for the winter!


Thanks Gord!

Wow, you really do Suck!

That's a pretty nice gift.

Wow, Rich, you do suck! Nice score bro. We expect to see some fine turnings soon..

... Looks like I'm going to be busy for the winter! Thanks Gord!

And Gord (our Gord?) going to be cold without wood to burn I look forward to seeing those pens!

I feel there are lots of cool pen photos in this forums future! Looking forward to it.

And: YOU SUCK!

Good friend, he'll probably get a nice pen out of it?

That is a great score. What a nice gesture. Just hope he isn't expecting 158 pens.

That's a double gloat! Once for a friend who thought of you and then for the pen blanks!

This is the only place that I know where it actually feels good to "suck". I picked up my latest order of kits today and it included some new( to me) pen styles. So I drilled out some wenge and glued in the tubes and I should be turning tomorrow night.

And to Turaj; I'm sure Gord has plenty more scraps to fight off the Canadian winter.

I know what you mean! For a few years now I have had a nice big red "you suck" shared by mudder (what ever happened to him) for a bowl I turned hanging next to my lathe. Highest form of praise around here!
