View Full Version : I am absolutely stunned by people’s generosity.

Charles Martin won the blue square plate I had up for auction with a generous $65 bid. Then he emailed me and said he couldn’t get the addressed envelope in an other envelope so he had to use a box. I wrote back saying I hope it wasn’t wood in the box unless it was wood I didn’t have.

The box arrived this afternoon and here is what was inside besides the check to his favorite charity.

A Crown hollowing tool I assume, since I have never seen one this big before.

Unfortunately Jennifer and Charles will get their packages a day later because I am not going to the Post Office this afternoon. I am going out to the shop and get to know this tool better as soon as I figure out how to sharpen it.

Thank you Charles. Who told you I was hollowing tool challenged? Well, who ever it was I thank you too. Now I have to get this feces consuming grin of my face before my jaws start hurting. The jaw already hit the floor when I opened the box from Charles.

Hollowing just got a little deeper and easier in Longview, WA.

Wow! What a gift. To give a plate and get a hollowing tool in return. Unbelievable. Enjoy the tool. It is truly a gift of love.

I hope you enjoy it Dave. The most amazing part of this story is that I mailed it from Ohio on Saturday afternoon, and it got to Washington for delivery on Monday. No more UPS for me, I think all my shipping is going to be done through the good ol' USPS.
