Well,
It saddens me to hear that Dennis Peacock's family is experiencing some medical issues. I understand that he and his family are having a hard time covering medical expenses (even with issurance). While I've never met Dennis, I'd like to start an auction to benefit Dennis and his family in the spirit of the SawMillCreek. I'll have to work on the details of how to collect the bids and get the proceeds sent directly to Dennis. Maybe someone that has done this in the past can offer some help. I suspect that Zahid Naqvi can help us figure out how to get the money to Dennis. Dennis didn't ask for help but Zahid got the ball rolling when he saw a need. Please check this other thread for more info: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=67829
I'd like to start things off by offering two of my favorite early pieces for auction. The winning bidder will also receive a few small interesting blanks (like flaming box elder) to fill the box.
1. The first piece is ambrosia maple with just the slightest bit of spalting shown in one oval ring but not shown in the pics. The piece is about 5.5" in diameter, 3.5" high, and about 3/16" thick. It has some very unique curly figure in the bottom and side (shown in the third pic). It has an antique oil finish with a small foot to make it look like it is floating.
74558 74559 74560
2. The second piece is mulberry with some slight spalting. It has a classic open bowl shape with a slight ogee at the rim. It is 5" dia., 2" high, and slightly less than 1/4" thick. It also has an oil finish with a very small foot once again to make it look like it is floating.
74561 74562.
I will cover the shipping charges and hope that you will be generous to help support this cause even if you don't participate in this auction! I may decide to add other pieces if we have a good reception.
Thanks in advance,
Dick
