I agree!! I think I found the correct answer; but not all of the hints were helpful....in fact some of them were distracting.
 
Are you guys being mean to moi?????? I can see that I'm going to have to do alot more research to get you guys[}:)] Surprisingly tho, some of our most knowledgeable members have gotten the answer wrong, and some newbies have gotten it right[:p] I really did this one to make people do some extra research.
 
I consider my self still a newbie (I just talk/type too much)...I hope that meant I got it :D

Honestly, I am not sure with my answer...I did the research though.[8)]
 
I'm not Dario...but this is what I sent, link might help:

Thanks John, that's what I was hunting for.
 
Woo Hoo! Not sure what I won, but I'm looking forward to it! [8D] And Penhead, that is the same exact page I found the answer on. Google is my friend. :D Thanks for continuing the trivia, Becca.

Cheers,
Draken
 
Received my package yesterday, took photos, will get them posted soon (didn't have a chance to get them off the camera last night). Only one item was labeled, do you know what they all are Becca?

Thanks!

It's a guessing game. Show the picture and then I'll guess.......no really I can probably tell you what they are when I see them again. I know the one with the dye is Maple and I bet I put an Ironwood in there too. Hope you can use them:D Thanks for playing!
 
Ok, here's the promised photo. Two are labeled, the two down front I'm guessing are Ironwood due to the smell others have mentioned in another thread. The only one I don't know is the greyish one upper right. Also, thank you for the colorant, will be interesting to give it a shot.
