Did you get back from the National? Which roughing gouge did you buy?

Hi Glenn

I did get back in good order, and have been playing catch up all week long. Truth be told, something very unexpected happened to me. Just a couple of days before I left for Louisville, I was walking up to the mailbox to retreive the mail. I saw a large priority mailbox sticking out. Wondering what had come since I had not ordered anything, I got up there to discover that it contained a brand new 1 3/4" Crown roughing gouge! The box included a short humorous note from my benefactor warning me not to flex my turning muscle so hard next time. :D

I did not even get a chance to look at the P&N gouges. I did not get much of a chance to look at anything outside my booth. I was having too much fun turning wood, talking to other turners, and selling DVDS. ;)
