Made em fit the boxes and then sealed em up real well:) One is 5" and the other is almost 6" and the box will be bulging but I know people at the post office and they will let it slide..

Mark, I am the mystery man!! Mark has been kind enough to send me some of his great haul of claro walnut in return for a piece that I turn and put my signature on! That is a deal if I ever heard one!! I can't wait to put a gouge to it and see the beauty transform before my eyes!! Thanks Mark and I won't dissapoint!

Good friends with a virtual handshake! You got to love it!!

Take care Mr. Walnut!!

Jeff.......YOU SUCK! Now that is a nice haul.

Hey Mark,
How much more of that Claro Walnut do you have? I have some nice Red flame Box Elder blanks already anchor sealed, if you want to do some trading. PM me if you are interested.

Jeff

And I do!!

I also can't wait to see what you do with it Jeff, I have no doubt it will be some splendind turnings and I am a lucky man to have a fine piece with you mark on the bottom comming my way.

Glad to have made a few good friends here at the creek!

Ken,
I have a bunch of the Claro and I would certianly be up for a trade, but I would just as soon sell some of it.
look in the classified for pics of the haul (I have posted twice)
Shoot me a pm, we'll talk.

I still have the largest stump to cut up and it has some real big (think basketball) burls on it. I'll be picking up the chainsaw from the shop with a nice sharp chain on it on the way home tonight (I hit the concrete with it:eek:) If I dont cut it up tonight I will do it tomorrow.

I cant wait to see some finished turnings showing up here at the creek, I've been busy sending pieces all over the states. The lady at the post office is starting to wonder about me:D

[Brian McInturff]

Yep! The first piece I got from you goes on the lathe Friday. My Airstream PAPR is suppose to be in and I've got Friday off. Then fly out Sunday to Irvine, CA. I'll post pics before I leave though. I don't want to keep you in Suspense:D
Hopefully the other piece will be here before I leave so I can see what she looks like:)

[Jeff Nicol]

Jeff.......YOU SUCK! Now that is a nice haul.
Mike, Sucking is good some times!! Or should I say getting on your knees and begging with sad puppy dog eyes to get what you want................well I did not have to do that, but you can if you want!!! ROFLOL

[Mark Norman]

I sent that second piece out to ya on the tenth Brian, you should have it any day now, I would think for sure by the end of the week. I'll be lookin for pics Friday;)

Nope, no suckin at all, but I think I heard Jeff gasp just a lil when I made the offer.

Back ta werk, lunch is over...

ttfn:p
