I've started filling the boxes with pen blanks. I'm also going to bring over some bottle stopper blanks, plus bowl blanks. If anyone has any requests, let me know in advance, and I'll let you know some prices and reserve for you. I'm glad I put new tires on the Astro van recently, cause it's going to be full. I'm bringing over some exotic pen blanks that I traded for a couple years ago. So a nice selection of unusual domestics, plus the exotics. Lots of Aussie burls, curly Mango, curly Koa, tulip, and many more. Looking forward to the gathering, plus I've got quite a few pens made up with dyed woods for the demo. Greg, I'm wandering about what is going on Friday evening? Should I add the price of a hotel so I don't miss any fun?
