Great to meet you guys. You all sent me home with some nice wood to play with and I can assure you it is very much appreciated. It was nice to see some of the great stuff you all make and I picked up on some good tips. For me, it was informative and somewhat assuring that I'm on the right track with my techniques at home.
Greg, thank you for hosting this at your house. You and your family were most gracious.
Nolan, very nice of you to bring goodies with you. Really nice burls and pen blanks.
I had to leave a little early to get back home in time to see one of my pens being sold at a charity silent auction. It was a gold titanium Perfect Fit made with York Gum Burl. I had to leave the auction early, but when I left the bid was up to $37.00 with two people having a bidding war over it.
A 2.5 hour drive for me, but worth the effort. I wish I could remember every one's name, but I'm bad with names. Regardless I enjoyed meeting everyone of you and I hope we can do it again sometime.
