ah. 'nice'

ah well I have a bunch on hand

Two pics. One of all the blanks in the box now out of box.
Other is of the blanks I removed from the box, stabilized, then will repack to send along to others. Some maple, spalted maple, box elder, willow and other stuff in there. All should benefit from the stable process.

Box on way to the next person.
I included some stablized Red Bud in addition to the dozen-plus I stabled from in the box.

Frank,
I know you've posted your process before, but too lazy to look for it this morning... how do you stabilize your blanks... some of those blanks in the bread pan have my initials on them, some of the spalted maple, the willow and box elder... I have a box of the maple probably close to or maybe over 100 blanks.... is your process something that could be done relatively easy, or does it require pressure or vacuum.. I don't have access to either. My box elder is about beyond the use stage... it would also benefit from the stabilizing process.

I'll post in the turning forum. If it is worthwhile, maybe we can move to tips and tuts later.

Hey all. The box showed up at my place today. I'll have to go through it tonight and see whats in it and post some pics. I'll get it back out in a few days.

I just realized that I never updated this thread. I sent the package back out on Monday of this week. The new owner should have it by now.
I didn't take any photos. I only traded a couple pieces so not much changed.
