Oh! My,My,My!!!
Thank you Lord!!
This is about the 2nd thing I ever won in my life!
I actually said a prayer, to win this & then I said, "Ya,right,Me win anything..."
This is great. Yes, I'll post pics - but it may be awhile before I have the nerve to turn one, without the fear of ruinning one.
Thanks Keith, for pulling my name out. I'm extremely privileged to have won such a cherished prize.Thank you Diane for giving us such an extremely awesone gift.

Thank you,Thank you, Thank you!!!

Congratulations John, Too bad it was not me, LOL... but I am sure you will make some beautiful pens with them... the wood is fantastic and the smell when cutting it is great... makes you feel like you are out at a good Italian restaurant...

[John M. Cioffi]

Thank you Tom, I hope I will be able to turn some beautiful pens. The 1st one will be a euro style for my Wife. She's exited.
