Thought it might be a good idea to list potential business donors for next year. Might be easier to be able to look back at this list for next year. Maybe we can think of some we missed this year. I'll start;

Bear Tooth Woods
Woodturningz
CSUSA
Harbor Freight?

This is my list of suppliers that donated this year - I think it has all of them. I replaced the @ symbol with AT in case some programs can steal email addresses from it...

Maybe we can think of some we missed this year;
Click to expand...

I think I contacted just about everybody...I have a list two or three pages long with all the companies I contacted, and a much, much shorter list of all the companies that responded...getting anyone at Harbor Freight, Penn State Industries, and other big companies, is hard! My biggest victory was getting through to Grizzly and Rockler - took a LOT of work for those two...
 
Woodcraft, AZSil were contacted this year - I didn't contact Augums, as they're a Steebar company, and didn't know if they were trustworthy, and didn't even think of Woodchips!

TSwoods, and Glimmers and More I've never heard of...

Maybe next year, see if Rizheng wants to sponsor a contest? That would go a long way to proving that they're reputable...doubt they'd go for it, though...

Would Dupont be approchable for Corian, I wonder?
I tried a few guitar suppliers for pickguard material, but no luck...would be worth a try again next year...

Also, from looking at my follow-up email contact sheet, I tried to get donations from the following (but was unsuccessful): (I think I'm missing a few, but shows how many rejections there were, for all the successful ones...)

Claphams Bees Wax
