We had torrential rain for the first three hours of my work day & temp was 40. It was cold. But the rain stopped. One of my customers wanted me to make him 2 Bubinga/ebony ring bowls so about a week & a half I delivered them, he also wanted two Wallstreet pens with his father in law to be name engraved on them. I used cut offs from the Bubinga for one of the pens & I had some Amboyna burl for the other one. I used a black & a black Ti kits & had Ryan at Woodturningz engrave them with color fill. They came our perfectly. He gave me $250 for the items. I thought that was a decent price for the two bowls & engraved pens. He loved the bowls & the pens & thought the price was more then fair for home made turnings. So a day that started out bad turned good. It helps with the piggy bank for tool purchases.
