Don't mind George. You blanks look great! Thanks for sharing them.
BTW....you win!!:biggrin:
Do a good turn daily!
Don
I do win...???? I didn't know that was a competition on it...!
:wink::biggrin:
Is not often that I gather that many cast blanks in one go but, someone in your country decided to empty me out a couple of weeks ago and all of a certain, I didn't have much left to offer so, with the weather being an absolutely nightmare, to be outside in the "elements", cold, rain, strong winds...!
I made the most of it by staying in the work-shed doing castings, the only problem was/is the high humidity % playing havoc with my woods, particularly the stabilised ones, drying/curing times change significantly with this sort of weather as my work-shed is quite open, something nice in summer (breeze) and a natural air blower to get the "fumes" away from my nose (or push them against it, sometimes
...!).
A couple of years ago, I bought a large rattle snake skin from our member "Joe" the desert Ironwood man, the skin was obviously treated and I got it to make a few blanks with it for myself but, when I received it, I liked it too much to cut it up into pieces so, it was hang on the living-room wall, with the use of some double side tape, it looks great and visitors like to play with the snake tail rattle that amazingly, still produces a very real sound as if was still alive.
Every time I see snake skin blanks here, I think of Joe and my skin, I never had one of your blanks but I've seen plenty of pens made with them and I know that you make some of the best, there is...!
Thank you for allowing my friendly "intrusion"...!
Cheers
George
