    Just received the box of wood last week. sorry for the late reply,(I thought
    this swap was kaput).

    I received a box a year ago from the other swap , and when this one showed up , It was like deja voo ! . I still was like a kid in a candy store looking
    thru all the different pieces.

    I tooked 6 and left like 20 to fill the box ! ( not the common blanks )
    that every one see's at the bottom , but over 1/2 of them should swap out
    in a few trips !

    Now you got me back turning pens again ! Thanks

    will ship out this week . AL (next stop ..... New Hampshire ) !
    Experience is the moment right after you need it !

    Sorry for the delay but shipped out friday to Leo in East Freetown Ma.
    ( as I was looking at the shipping labels I thought about New Hampshire ),
    But then there was some one still here in Mass. Maybe Leo will send it thru
    to New Hampshire !

    WOW - I have not been around here in a while.

    I got a box in the mail just over a week ago and didn't know what it was till I opened it.

    What a surprise.

    Anyway - I took some out and put some in.

    Tomorrow the box will be on its way to New Hampshire.

    Got the box Thursday and it will ship out to PA either today or Monday.

    Couple of really cool pieces of burl are missing
    Sorry no pics.

    Got this box today or yesterday. It was sitting in the rain and it has poured here so the box is toast. Just found it sitting in the rain about 30 minutes ago. But alas it had a lot of clear tape on it and only a couple of the blanks have any sign of moisture on them at all.

    I will get a new box and make some swaps and try and get it on the road soon.

    I would encourage people to not be bashful about taking blanks as there are a ton of them in there and some I remember from the last round trip. Some beautiful stuff for sure.....

    Pictures later as right now I am trying to make a temporary picture window so I caan try and repair the one that the bottom has rotted out on.

    Well a box came today. This is what came out.



    Now here is what I want to know. What does a dunno tree look like?
    Does it bear dunno fruit?
    Does it have dunno leaves or needles?
