In the cigar world, we do what is called Cigar bombing. We randomly send each other cigars with no expectation what so ever that the favor be returned. We prefer that it be payed forward but again, no obligation. (Tough times may not permit) The recipient then posts what he/she received and makes up a story of how his mail box, neighbor hood, or city was blown up by the surprise bombing of the mail box. Some of the stories are quite funny and the pictures of explosions are sometimes an enjoyable part of the post. I was hoping we might start some of these shenanigans with turning blanks for bowls, pens etc.. I will be kicking this off next week so someone out there is gonna get it. I think he already has a clue but he really won't know for sure until I dismantle his mail box. Anyway, this is strictly for fun. no payment, no obligation in any way. From this point on, FEAR the postman!!:D

A great gesture, Bill! There really are no people quite like wood workers.

That's a good idea, but ..... you can't mail a email address. How you gona get the mailing address of the intended lucky truner?

Bill, you'd be surprised at the cunning, devious mind of a woodturner. We have ways of getting information! lol

Unfortunately my mom had a small stroke this week. She's doing fine now but I didn't have any time to ship out my lil package. I'm out of town until Tuesday but for my delay, I'll be adding some extra goodies to my box. Just a little clownin around.
