You know those movies where one army guy tosses a grenade at the opposing guy, and that other guy picks it up and tosses it back before it goes off, well I feel like the first army guy.
Look what just came in the mail (although to be fair, I did have a head's up that this was coming):
139490 139491
That John Keeton is a sneaky guy. It is a blank of the cottonwood crotch he posted the other day. Even better, it is already bandsawed and ready for the lathe (my bandsaw is still unassembled & I got it in October). He really is one heck of a guy. :)
All I can say is that I am humbled that JK thought enough of me to send me wood. I won't have enough time today to get started on it and tomorrow I have to be out on a job site, so I wrapped it back up, and will rough it out this coming week. I just hope I can do a good job on it. I'll post photos of my progress from rough out to final turning here in this thread.
Thanks again, Mr. Keeton. I really appreciate the kind gesture. It warms my heart on a cold January day.
