Really; my Secret Santa did arrive today! I'm not much at holding back from surprises, so I had to open it. 11 pen blanks and a 7 mm Rhodium pen kit which I will turn and forward to a Canadian Peacekeeper in Afghanistan. Thank you 1TJTurner.


Now let's turn our attention to the 3 chunks of an old table leg! Whoever did it -- you got me good! I went from disbelief, to anger, to disenchantment with the IAP forum, to venting twice on Jason.

At least, if you don't want to acknowledge yourself, kindly tell an old man why you played the joke on him. I really do need the laugh!

What kind of wood is the table leg and how big is it? Looks like mohagony to me. Is it big enough to turn something bigger with like a peppermill?

Hi Billy; All the chunks are 2" sq. with rounded corners. Useable wood -- 1 pc. 8½" L, 1 pc. 6" L, and the last 8" L.

I think it's Jatoba, it's very hard and dense. I have way more than enough for pen blanks with the Jatoba that I presently have.

I've never turned a peppermill, but I suppose there's a 1st for everything. The sender will probably ask for it back when it get's turned into pepper mills.

Received mine on the 24th. opened on the 25th. A great selection of blanks all of wood that I have never turned before. Thank you Santa.
 
Mine came in today.

a great bit of wood blanks, some I've never turned (one I didn't even know existed, Cinnamon Burl) as well as some solid surface material and what I think is a Catalin blank. Oh, and a home poured bottle stopper blank (guess I'll finally have to buy some stopper kits).

A very nice haul. Thanks Santa!
 
Arrived home from a short trip to find my SS package waiting for me! :)

Jared sent some spectacular blanks for me to use. I am going to have to bust out one of my Jr. Emp. kits to do these beauties justice!

Thank you very much Jared!
 
Sorry it took so long. I just grabbed the blanks I was going to take to the Texas IAP member get together. Hope they work good for you. Hope you like that "curly birds-eye white oak burl". Hope to see some pens out of those blanks Scott!
 
The Canadian and US Postal "services" finally decided that I could have my Secret Santa gift, and boy was I surprised. I opened my package to find a dozen "coal" blanks. Each blank meticulously colored black, so I will have no idea what they are until I "unwrap" them...great idea and execution. ManyThanks to 1080Wayne for what I am sure will be a very nice present!
 
My secret Santa was on the porch when I arrived home from work tonight. It is a lovely selection of products to make me feel good; a Baron fountain pen kit that I will turn it into a pen this weekend, along with some nice blanks. Very generous and thoughtful present. Thank you Santa!
 
Got mine today. It is a collection of 7 blanks, 3 acrylic and 4 exotic hardwoods. What can I say other than Bob ... I mean Santa ... is extremely generous. Some of those blanks are very expensive. He also sent me a cigar pen kit, 2 tanga nuts and some pick guard material that I can use in inserts.
 
Just got back from visiting the family over Christmas. Hoping that there would be a little package waiting fro me. But there was nothing, i am still not losing hope as the Royal Mail are extremly useless (especially around Christmas). With a bit of luck it will hopefully arrive around the Birthday Bash and then at least i will get something at the time of the BB. I am just glad that my present arrived safe and sound.

Hi Andy; I'm in a pen swap on a Canadian forum. I sent my swap to Woking GB Nov. 21, '08 and he still hasn't rec'd it!
 
I got my box from my secret santa today. All I can say is WOW, he went overboard and I can't thank him enough.












Thanks Nolan!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Glad your happy and I hope you enjoy it. I tried to provide you with a couple of each of some of the more common stuff.
